Re: FSD vs Waymo. LiDAR is a throwback to the original DARPA Challenge (which LiDAR “won”) when hi-res cameras weren’t available. Because of its lack of resolution (not needed on DARPA’s essentially off-road courses) LiDAR’s basically become a technological boat anchor that will forever keep those relying on it from success. However, I tend to side with Sandy M. on FLIR to compensate vision during atmospheric interferences.

While I love that there are many people attemting autonomy, I think Waymo only taking very specific routes and avoiding certain places (right on red in beginning?) shows that they still have a long way to go as well, but then again it did a right on red later on pretty fine, so not sure why it does things like that. Even now on completely mapped and geofenced areas they for some reason take slower and easier routes, so seems like they aren't all that confident yet in their system. Not saying FSD always manages every situation perfectly yet, but at least they aren't taking a weird and much slower route just to avoid certain things. Obviously Tesla has the benefit of having no accountability as the drivers has to always be ready to disengage and take over, but still rather impressive.

[@polarpenguin3]

The difference is Waymo is truly autonomous and Tesla isn't. Tesla has the comfort of falling back on the driver when it gets things wrong. Waymo can't do that and is liable for crashes, again, unlike Tesla. So, it's obvious their solution is going to be significantly more conservative in its approach.

[@TheSpartan3669]

​@@cheezeburger4338 Incorrect. Full autonomy, according to the NHTSA, is a vehicle capable of operating without direct driver input and without supervision. Full autonomy doesn't mean or imply a capability of operating everywhere or under all conditions. If Tesla solved FSD (no driver needed) in most of North America would you still argue that it's not autonomous because it can't drive outside of the U.S.? Self driving systems will pretty much always be "geofenced" in some respect because there will always be areas/conditions where the software cannot guarantee the sufficient safety standards. If the diminishment in safety is not worth the extra minute or two saved then it will opt for the longer safer route. Tesla doesn't have to worry about this because it's not liable for accidents caused by FSD. Also, Waymo and others can attempt any road just like FSD. It's just that they don't, because again, they are fully liable and probably aren't comfortable with the drop in safety (disengagement rate) that Waymo suffers outside of the geofence.

​@@davidbeppler3032Doubt it. Tesla has more than enough money to compete with those companies financially and probably enough connections to lobby just as effectively. It probably has more to do with the fact that Tesla doesn't publish their avg miles per disengagement unlike every other company. Waymo and Cruise report 51,000 and 540,000 miles per disengagement as of 2022 which is certainly way better than Tesla. Given my very limited experience with an older version of FSD and the fact that nearly every FSD video uploaded at least one disengagement (in one of DirtyTesla's videos a month ago FSD literally missed an oncoming bus which it would have probably collided with had Mr. DirtyTesla not disengaged) FSD likely has a disengagement rate of once every 10-30 miles at best depending on the area. Waymo,Cruise, etc are safe enough to not need drivers and are thus level 4 the same cannot be said for FSD.

In a decade FSD of some type will be ubiquitous, it may seem a bridge too far today but that can change almost overnight. All you need do is look at the iPhone to see proof of how quickly an industry can be utterly disrupted.

[@club6525]

Waymo interprets it's surroundings and like Tesla uses mapping. Although Waymo's map may be higher detail to simplify decision-making, the planning is end-to-end similar to V12 of FSD. Even if Tesla used HD maps like Waymo, they could not run. Tesla's perception stack requires extensive training with loads of data as a result of relying primarily on cameras while Waymo can simplify with near direct correspondence to LiDAR, using V2G, and using some cameras. Waymo is more advanced than FSDb since it uses an end-to-end planner unlike Tesla's neural network enhanced Monte Carlo tree search.

​@@chrisspamtest @Mark N is correct. While you correctly pointed out, Google had mapped many countries as you can easily see in their Street View. Waymo requires precise Lidar Mapping which is not the same used by Google Street View. That's the reason why Waymo deployment is so slow. You can only use it only on those roads that have been pre mapped and hope that nothing changes such as construction, adding additional lanes and so on. FSD can be deployed in any road even if the road was build the day before. I've seen FSD navigate on dirt roads in a private property (about 40 acres of land). Roads that have never been mapped by anyone. I've seen FSD easily navigate a construction zone where they closed one side of the road and shifted the lanes to the other side of the road. Don't get me wrong. FSD still needs more refining but having a system that right now you can deploy on any city of the US, is just amazing and so far ahead from others. This video is a perfect example why FSD general solution approach is much better than a localize approach.

Thanks for your kind comparison contents for FSD!!! Your contents was introduced at Korean famous youtuber for Tesla, and he also linked your site url!!!

[@jameshoffman552]

6:16 I love this part.

[@MsAjax409]

Nice work!

[@dscarty]

Great videos!

[@leonyu9129]

Autonomous driving is the future.

[@paologiovanni8026]

Fantastic video. Thank you

[@portlandcurry]

Great idea for a VS video! I’ve been wondering this exact thing.

[@Scott4271]

Nicely done.

[@iamphineas]

great vid!

[@ojobee]

Such a great storyteller.

[@spchang2000]

excellent comparison

[@moreliberty1]

Is Waymo charging by the minute? It would explain why they take the longest possible route.

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Cruel! . . But probably correct!

[@FlyWithSergio]

Amazing!!!!

[@javqui410]

Great Job. Hope we can see it frequently with versions update. Please continue doing it. I just subscribed to your channel. Google probably will sell the rides path to force people to see restaurants and shopping malls as part of the business. Even to see billboards and other saleable things in the ad world.

[@freddydad1]

Great vid, thanks..

[@davesparks5731]

Great video, thanks for the effort! Tesla ftw.

[@alexneshmonin4743]

Love these vids! Please do a video per new Waymo and Tesla update! Things i love: * You visually highlighting the moments that prove that footage on both ends is done in parallel (ie. showing the other car in each of the footages), hence strong statement on the fact that it wasn't many takes. * You vocally highlighting various events in both car experiences, as I'd miss some of them otherwise. What could make these videos perfect (for me): * Move tesla camera to completely capture the wheel, to capture zero (or non-zero) interventions. Also, add a camera (with a light) to capture the pedal area, for the same reason. Then overlay it in the right corner of the tesla footage. These two changes would give MUCH more credibility to the video. That would address my concerns of receiving criticism of sharing this video. Thanks for your hard work!!

You can see if FSD is disengaged on the Tesla’s screen. Only thing we can’t know for sure is if the accelerator gets pressed, but this video seems pretty objective, so idk why they’d lie.

[@alexneshmonin4743]

@@ian_bruh1 ehh... Seeing that disengagement message in the 95% cut off screen footage... I don't think that would satisfy an FSD critic - a footage of the wheel and the pedal would make stronger statements

[@Ronnieleec]

Nice job

[@yibinbao3881]

great video to compare Waymo and tesla FSD.👍

[@teslatrooper1447]

Great video! Do more of these.

[@acvwacvw]

Time is money and Waymo is just pissing it away in every possible measure.

[@barrydaugherty5528]

Great video! Very interesting and fun to watch. Also I got Neverending Story vibes from the music. Haha. Also there seemed to be some pretty strong stops by the waymo. Was that true or just an illusion of the video?

[@catbert7]

Great comparison! I wonder how long Waymo will continue to avoid highways. I get they are afraid of high-speed collisions but it's ludicrous on trips like this. Really looking forward to vids like this from SF, where we can get some challenging driving conditions. Very impressive that Tesla's unbounded and far cheaper solution is besting Waymo here.

[@BlueHound]

In the high speed freeway sections, note how perfectly centered the Tesla is between the lane lines. If a human were driving it would be no where near that perfect. This may be one of the best examples of why self driving will eventually replace human drivers.

[@koshmary112]

“Waymo doesn’t not do highways.” 😂😂😂

[@sungju58]

Wonderful~!!

[@joey4568]

Nicely done! Tesla driver already visits the museum while Waymo is still on its way😃 No wonder Waymo took so long connecting the regions. No the lack of Highway driving is a huge (time) disadvantage! Better use a real Taxi for those distances...

[@jameshoffman552]

Great video! Waymo, FSD meet the scientific method .

[@TheAdventureAuto]

Waymo with all of those goofy redundant sensors while Tesla did it with just normal hardware. Vision based is where it's at. RIP Waymo

[@Crunch_dGH]

Re: FSD vs Waymo. LiDAR is a throwback to the original DARPA Challenge when hi-res cameras weren’t available. Because of its lack of resolution (not needed on DARPA’s essentially off-road courses) Lidar’s basically become a technological boat anchor that will forever keep it from universal use. 7:50 Re: Relative Speed. All automated (or driven) cars should try to maximize separation, for safety’s sake, by attempting to match speeds with surrounding cars that are obviously part of “customary” traffic flows. Next time, maybe secure a Tesla Lyft/Uber for cost comparison ? Nice job!

[@pcysneros]

Love your voice... Please don't take advertising from companies that will limit or restrict your opinions... Keep it up and not bias...

[@edjones9185]

Great video, really nice work with the editing and side by sides! Can you do some routes that don’t use highways to try to get a more apples to apples comparison since waymo can’t do highways yet?

[@edjones9185]

Also, it’d help if you commented a bit on the ride comfort etc at the end. Thanks though really good work!

[@MaxEmberson]

To help compare the safety differences of Tesla and Waymo - its more that Waymo drive in a highly safe fishbowl subset in a town and never the highways that is not a real life situation as Tesla chose the freeway that took 50% only of the time it took Waymo. If Teslas also did that in safe low speed areas, then they would have ultra low accident rates also - it is not a bad reflection on Tesla.

[@TJ4DaWin]

Absolutely amazing FSD assessment between both Tesla & Waymo well done. Congrats to the work Waymo have done within the confines of their system management but Tesla real world driving solution is quite frankly next level. I wish success to both companies attempting to create a sfe automated driving solution. Also NO Tesla should never speed up just because humans are ignoring speed signs as a robo-taxi safety should always be paramount over speed

[@karlschleifenbaum5793]

They should rebrand to SlowMo ...
