TLDR: Tesla will have as many robotaxis as Waymo in the year 2111, if the current growth rate holds (and if Waymo doesn’t add a single additional vehicle). So… I’m guessing the Tesla stock price will skyrocket.

    Musk’s deadlines always have been pure fantasy. But i’m seeing real life hands on reviews of autonomous driving in various places, even Amsterdam with a mayhem of canals and cyclists, it’s not entirely there but damn impressive.

    The rollout of the cars themselves will be a non issue, they control the factories to pump out the vehicles as they need it, unlike waymo’s retrofit way of doing things.

    I can’t predict the future, had a company car tesla model 3 from 2019 with “full potential for self driving” and after 4 years when the leasing contract ran out, it was still barely on the level of a teenager on their 5th driving lesson. They might very well never reach the point where it’s good enough for the real world and stay on really predictable paths.
