We put Tesla's FSD and Waymo's robotaxi to the test. One shocking mistake made the winner clear.
- Waymo's robotaxis and Tesla's FSD are put to the test in San Francisco by Business Insider's Lloyd Lee and Alistair Barr.
- Waymo has been providing autonomous rides since 2024, while Tesla is gearing up to launch its robotaxi service in Austin.
- The test involved Waymo's fifth-generation Waymo Driver in Jaguar I-PACE SUVs and Barr's 2024 Tesla Model 3 equipped with Hardware 4 and FSD Supervised software.
- While both AI drivers showed impressive skills, Tesla's FSD made a critical error by running a red light, giving Waymo the clear win in the test.
- Waymo displayed a safe yet assertive driving style, with small human-like moments, while Tesla's FSD handled highway driving flawlessly but made mistakes like running the red light.
- The error by Tesla was significant as it would be considered an automatic fail during a driver's license test, prompting the testers to give Waymo the win.
- Tesla's FSD still requires a human driver behind the wheel, while Waymo's fully autonomous rides have been operational in San Francisco.
- Both services have their strengths, with Tesla's ability to handle certain routes and Waymo's attention to safety and efficiency.
- Despite the error, Tesla aims to launch its robotaxi service soon, banking on its strong real-world data collection to make FSD smarter for fully autonomous operation.
- The competition between Tesla's FSD and Waymo's robotaxis continues as both companies strive for a seamless autonomous ride-hailing experience.
