Tesla's upcoming robotaxi unveiling on October 10 raises questions about its impact on the autonomous vehicle market. The debate centers around Tesla's Full Self Driving (FSD) software, which, despite impressive mileage, still requires human oversight. Critics argue that this limitation classifies FSD as a Level-2 system rather than true autonomy.
While Tesla fans tout FSD's extensive usage, competitors like Waymo and Cruise have already launched fully autonomous services. The differences in sensor technology and operational strategies highlight the challenges Tesla faces in achieving full autonomy. As the October event approaches, expectations are high, but doubts linger about the readiness of Tesla's robotaxi.
• Tesla's FSD software is classified as Level-2 autonomy.
• Waymo's robotaxis are reported to be four times safer than human drivers.
FSD is currently classified as Level-2, requiring human supervision for safe operation.
Tesla's FSD is considered Level-2 because it necessitates driver intervention.
Tesla aims for Level-5 but has not yet achieved this standard with its FSD.
Tesla's FSD software is central to its strategy for achieving full autonomy.
Waymo operates a fleet of robotaxis that have begun commercial operations in multiple cities.
