Waymo Dismisses Tesla's Self-Driving Strategy as a 'False Summit'

In a thinly veiled critique, autonomous driving pioneer Waymo has characterized Tesla's approach to achieving full self-driving capabilities as a "false summit." Waymo's latest report, detailing lessons from over 200 million autonomous miles, suggests that attempts to incrementally upgrade driver-assist systems into true autonomy are fundamentally flawed. This directly challenges Tesla's widely publicized Full Self-Driving (FSD) development path.
