This is full of misinformation, the kind Musk and Tesla fans have spread for years about their self driving competitors.

All of this is easily proven wrong. Waymo works in rain and fog in hilly San Francisco flawlessly. There are YouTube videos anyone can look up. One look at https://waymo.com/research/ tells you they're using more AI than everyone else combined. They've used an ML-based planner for years now. Saying they have "hardcoded" to drive at the scale of entire cities is just dumb. Somehow only Tesla fans think it's possible.

Tesla has no overhead introducing in a new city because, obviously, it's a driver assistance system. It "works" only because there's a driver ready to prevent crashes. That's not a fully autonomous system by any stretch of imagination.
