A user in Tampa, FL found Waymo's robotaxi service paused all day due to rain, while Tesla's Robotaxi kept operating and arrived in 10 minutes.
The post frames it as a live comparison of technical routes: Tesla's vision-only stack handled the rain, while LiDAR-reliant Waymo sat out the weather — fresh fuel for the vision vs. LiDAR debate.
