I work near downtown Austin, where both Waymo and Robotaxi operate.

Waymo cars are some of the best drivers on the road because they actuallyt ested their product, use multiple Lidar sensors instead of just cameras, and have remote driver backups for unusual situations.

Teslas drive like maniacs and will end a ride and tell the driver to get out in the middle of a lane.
