This Adobe-backed AI marketing startup went from a $5 to $85 million valuation working with brands like L'Oréal, Hasbro, and Sweetgreen in just three years – here's how there's an opportunity to invest at $1,000 for only $0.50/share today.
Tesla uses camera footage from its existing fleet of vehicles to train its software aimed at enabling autonomous driving. Tesla’s fleet is significantly large and operates across the country as compared to Waymo which is only operating vehicles in a select few cities within the U.S. such as Phoenix and San Francisco.
Tesla, therefore, likely has much more data than Waymo across scenarios of driving to train its tech, the Waymo co-founder opined. See Also: A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 — you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.
Why It Matters: Tesla unveiled its dedicated robotaxi offerings last week at an event in Los Angeles. The company unveiled two products – a two-seater Cybercab and a 20-seater Robovan with no steering wheels or pedals. The Cybercab, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said, will enter production “before 2027.”
Waymo, meanwhile, already operates robotaxis in select cities. The company deploys its sensor suite on vehicles manufactured by other automakers, such as Jaguar vehicles, for use as robotaxis, which by itself is a cost-extensive process.
“You probably need to buy a car company to be able to produce the cars that you want,” Levandowski reportedly said regarding Waymo. He left Waymo in 2016 after co-founding it in 2009.
