TLDR: Since Tesla’s June 2025 robotaxi launch, Tesla has built a 39-vehicle unsupervised fleet, while Waymo has a newly disclosed 3,791-vehicle U.S. fleet. So Tesla appears to be on pace to catch up with Waymo’s autonomous fleet size by the year 2111.

LOL!

    I’m currently renting a Model Y with the latest FSD and I’m very impressed. I’ve had it for about 3 weeks and put about 1,200 miles on it. I’d say 99% or more FSD.

    Truly mind blowing at times. Drove for 90 mins or so through rush hour leaving Miami Beach perfectly. End to end parking everywhere I go.

    I don’t know about the whole cab thing working out, but it’s damn good while supervised.

      I’m glad for you!

      Personally, I tried it. Wasn’t my cup of tea, bad safety margins (it doesn’t drive how I drive, and I am particular). There’s a consumer for that product, though. So long as you watch it closely, I certainly don’t mind, glad it suits you.

        Weird. What safety margin didn’t you like specifically? I have a short list of gripes but they’re not related to safety. Damn thing is a bit too safe and civil at times.

          Poor anticipation of turns and poor trailing distance. Didn’t spot many other vehicles on the road, too, that’s ultimately what made me pull the plug.

            What year Tesla? Sounds like my 2023 (HW3). The follow closely thing seems to have gotten better in the last couple updates tho.
