    Not really a race. Waymo uses LIDAR, RADAR, and cameras. Last I checked Tesla only uses cameras.

        Underrated feature. Some might also say underutilized

      Especially not a race when Waymos decide to descend upon a random cul-de-sac and gridlock themselves. :)

        I heard that the Sun doesn’t light things up good enough at night. I heard that it is dark at night. Probably mostly stupid rumors, but lidars/etc wouldn’t harm anyway.
