Power with Control
Seems maybe we should have a place to just discuss this. This video showed two things.
1. Lots of comments asked how the Tesla could see the Waymo.
2. The stark difference in equipment levels between the two front runners in self driving.
The Tesla couldn't see the Waymo after moving behind the van, but it was visible before that and the Tesla must have predicted it would keep moving and so waited for it. Could have been someone behind it, so the Tesla did just what a human driver would, stuck its nose out enough to announce to oncomers it was there.
Look at the amount of stuff scabbed onto that Waymo. That's what makes it a $150K vehicle.
And yes, I know, some folks wont even entertain this until its legal to have it drive your drunk ass home.
