Tesla’s robotaxi technology lags behind Waymo and Cruise due to its reliance on a vision-only approach, whereas its competitors use a combination of LiDAR, radar, and high-definition mapping for greater accuracy. While Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system depends solely on cameras and neural networks, Waymo and Cruise employ extensive sensor suites that provide better situational awareness and redundancy in complex driving environments.
