Tesla has launched a new website for public updates on its forthcoming robotaxi service, which can be hailed via an app. It remains uncertain how quickly Tesla can catch up to Waymo, which has a fully operational self-driving ride-hailing service since three years ago. Texas lawmakers have requested a delay in Tesla's launch until new regulations are implemented. Tesla's simpler technology relies solely on cameras, unlike competitors that use radar and lidar, prompting discussions on safety and efficacy in various driving conditions.
"Tesla has in no way demonstrated that its system is capable of the kind of accuracy and reliability that would be necessary for deployment in a range of driving conditions."
"Catching up to or surpassing Waymo will be no small feat," said Barclays analyst Dan Levy, cautioning about the infrastructure challenges that lie ahead.
