1 teardown of the decisions behind Waymo.
Two robotaxis run the same streets in Miami — and underneath, two completely different machines. On July 3, Tesla flipped a switch: its robotaxi now picks you up with no safety driver, no map.

It's how much the car leans on knowledge someone built BEFORE it ever drove.
