Waymo vs Tesla cost to build a self-driving car. Will cost be the deciding factor in the long run, and can Waymo ever turn a profit?

cost to build waymos should come down pretty significantly as they scale production tho, right? (less so if djt has his way..) like at one point ABS was very expensive iirc

if the cost for lidar dropped to 100 as projected ($1000 today, was $10000) then i think it would be like $10-20k more in compute/hardware given that tesla still relies on human intervention for 8+ years since elon said it wouldn't, either bet seems reasonable

power move is probably to just buy both and know you've got the winner either way. Can't imagine an outsider showing up to win the market at this point, esp not w the current political environment
