Tesla faces robotaxi hurdles while Waymo keeps expanding
00:00 Speaker A
The beginning of Tesla’s Robotaxi tests did not go as far as smoothly as the company launched. Yal finanz award submarine this story, here with the award.

Yes, we just show that Hollywood did not go exactly as planned where they made a real presentation last October. We saw that many Tesla was excited to take the Robotaxis right. But there were some hiccups, right? We have seen that some vehicles accelerated over the boundaries after speed. And then the most mercilessly, what you see here, tried to turn left, actually a traffic violation that you did not do this, and only a traffic violation, in fact, there was an event in which a large car did not go to the left of a large car in Texas, and a pair of yellow directly. Nizza says that they are aware of these events and that they are watching them and they will take the necessary measures to protect road safety. So the nizza probably takes place here. In the meantime, Waymo is entering Atlanta, as they said, officially partner with Uber as a platform partner, they said they were open for business. So you know, Austin, where Uber and Tesla’s tests took place in Waymo Atlanta. And then La, San Francisco, Um’da and such places.

Do you think the reward can hear such a thing, can it slow down in any way, can this service disrupt the expansion of this service throughout the country?
01:10 Prize
Do you mean this little hiccup here? Yes. It brings some enthusiasm, but Prime is not ready for time, isn’t it? Security drivers, riders sitting in the passenger seat, you have teleoperators who follow the car remotely. You know, many Tesla investors are excited about the fact that this test actually started. However, they have a long way to keep up with Waymo, which is currently a trip to Robotaxi, which is completed 250,000 per week without these events we see in Tesla.

Well, let’s bring our community now for more information about driving shares today. Tesla, a Google, Uber, lyft, all focus. Julie, you know, I, Tesla, I slid a little bit today, of course they had a nice pop yesterday. As the award rightly states, when Musk begins this journey, there is a great competition, including Waymo.
02:07 Julie
Yes, that is, if there are these hiccups, as we know, the federal regulators have even left them to states and municipalities, even if they would allow them to progress. You see you are moving in a city -based city, right? Even if Tesla still continues with the tests in Austin, if he continues to see, that is, we call it hiccup, but you know, it could be much worse, right? So, how does Tesla address these problems? And the next question, when Tesla resorts to the next approval in the next city, will it inform this? Then will this cause a little friction by letting it move? Now, we always know if we are in a Elon Musk Timeline, you can’t expect something to happen as he thinks or says. Um, but this is another thing that should be taken into consideration when we talk about this kind of market and then when we catch this market share.
03:03 Speaker A
Chris, I want to bring you here, the only person who has a portfolio to run here on the panel. What are you doing with this big fight? I bought Tesla, Waymo, there is Amazon, Uber, lyft.
03:16 Chris
Yeah, it’s a crowded area. Oh, you know, and that’s a kind of emerging market. I think this will be proved over time. I think the interesting way to play it from A is differentiated in a differentiated way, perhaps we don’t focus, uh, you know, what Tesla is doing or what Tesla does, but what does this mean for this uber? When we think about the abolition of an important cost for them, what does it mean to LYFT? And the amount of incremental profit that can be profitable after making these investments. To me, this is much more exciting.
