Waymo criticized Tesla's pure AI camera-based system for full autonomy as unsafe, emphasizing the need for multiple sensors like lidar and radar for reliable self-driving. This comes just before Tesla's expected launch of its two-seater Cybercab robotaxi, which uses an AI-only approach without lidar. Waymo operates a large robotaxi fleet with a multi-sensor system and warns Tesla's method risks failures. Tesla aims to scale Cybercab production significantly, betting on cost advantages if its AI-only system proves viable. The debate highlights contrasting strategies in a market potentially worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
