Tesla FSD drives 2 hours with zero interventions on a rental, sparking Waymo comparison fight
binarybits · x · 2026-10-06
A Tesla FSD vs Waymo debate on X: a first-time Tesla renter says he picked up a 2026 Model Y via Turo, turned on FSD after 5 minutes of familiarization, and drove 2 hours from Charlotte with zero interventions.
Commenters (incl. binarybits) countered that Waymo did driver-out operations 5 years ago; critics replied Waymo can't cover Charlotte-to-Asheville type routes. The crux is an apples-to-apples mismatch: FSD is a supervised ADAS requiring a driver, Waymo is a geofenced robotaxi service.
