Musk has long spoken about Tesla's full self driving being the epitome of general use AI in practice, and Tesla has been working on this for a long time. It's interesting, however, to note that Waymo is way ahead of Tesla in real time autonomous driving. Walk the streets of San Francisco for a half hour and you will see multiple Waymo vehicles with no driver in the front seat. You won't see any Teslas doing that.

Tesla was once way ahead of competitors because of their embrace of new technologies. While one might argue their electric vehicles are still superior in terms of value and profitability, that competitive edge has been reduced. And in autonomous driving, they are clearly behind Waymo. Let's see if they can catch up.
