You think it’s going to be hard for Tesla to convince a city in Texas to let them do autonomous rides?
Texas.
I’m not suggesting they’ll do a lot of rides, but there will be at least a handful until something goes wrong sooner than it should and they force a pause.
Edit: and to be clear, something very wrong. Waymo does wrong things all the time and it’s allowed. It’s going to have to do enough wrong things in a short time or a very very bad thing sooner than it should. But they’ll do rides until that.
As far as I can tell it’s an issue of completely destroyed trust in rich techies, who are the only people who can afford to make autonomous vehicles at the moment.

Tesla might be, Elon isn’t. They’ll do what he says. They’re spending billions getting the cybercab ready. They’ll try it.
All I know is that Elon couldn’t predict the sunrise. He lies and makes overconfident statements constantly.
Anti autonomous vehicle sentiment is strange to me. As long as they’re doing better than the average person, I think it’s not a terrible thing.
For reference, I saw 6 different accidents on my drive to work today. It’s a really low bar to clear.
