    The girl that thinks that waymo will outlast chatgpt needs to go back to reviewing soap operas 😂

      She has good points in my opinion.

      Waymo makes money, chatgpt does not

    There are an estimated 1.645 billion cars in the world, according to a September 2025 analysis by Hedges & Company. As of late 2025, there are approximately 1.4 billion active Windows PCs alone and there were 8.62 billion mobile phone connections. Waymo has the infrastracture and ChatGPT has to build infrastracture while draining current infrastructure.

    I don’t see Google going anywhere soon with their AI that works on their phones / watches / headsets /cars / home security / home management / maps which rocks and Waymo. It seems more tied into every day life when you include Samsung, LG, Motorola, Lonova and several other companies are tied into Google AI.

    Unless if ChatGPT diversifies I could see them going away or being baught up by another company like Apple that is failing at AI.

    In my opinion, Waymo is too heavy on hardware and too light on AI. Tesla will ultimately win the autonomous vehicle race because they are solving for Artificial Intelligence without the crutch of too many high cost sensors. A big AI brain needs to drive the cars not a small AI brain with a massive array of sensors. Humans do it with big brain and two low resolution cameras (eyes) pointed the same direction inside the vehicle. So clearly 7 cameras pointed all directions are more than you need once your AI brain is smart enough to out perform Humans in this single task.

      Not gonna happen. The cost of lidar sensors is not stagnant. It has decreased dramatically and will most likely continue to do so. Also, I don’t know where people the get assumption that waymo uses “smaller” or “less” AI. There isn’t really any technical comparison between the two assuming that a comparison can be made in the first place. Also extrapolating human vision to neural networks is a huuuuge and incorrect oversimplification of how the technology works. Not to mention the extra equipment is for the sake of redundancy which is necessary especially when people’s lives are at stake. It’s not excessive, it’s just good engineering.

      Just get into a Tesla right now with FSD and it will drive you literally anywhere waymo’s are geofenced.

    • @violentplainsdotcom

      November 25, 2025 at 7:48 pm

      @squarewheel9113Why are the Tesla so much more human like in their driving?

    Neither, Google Gemini 💥🔥

      its been Google since day really. They created the big breakthroughs that made LLM’s possible. There is no chatgpt without Google giving it all away.

    Both will survive. Chat GPT will become a tool. Probably implanted to the brain or wearable. Waymo will become a leader in autonomous cars, trucks, ground & air drones. I could even see Waymo being first at flying car tech

    Team robotaxi 🤟🤟 Zoox, Waymo, Pony AI, XPilot,… Let’s go

    I work with AI nonsense. There is so many ways you can cause it to start hallucinating. I wouldn’t trust AI. ChatGPT I don’t care what you say. It’s too easy to mess with it. Plus, AI nonsense uses a giant amounts of electricity and water to make it work. I’m not sure we can afford this. Waymo maybe they can get it right. I still don’t trust it right now. I have a friend that has a Tesla. She has self driving. It’s try to kill her three times so far. She doesn’t use self driving much anymore in her Tesla. She doesn’t wanna die. And it usually happens when she gets off the expressway and goes into real traffic.

    Odd what if you were in a car that drives itself while talking to an AI assistant. Ummmmm FSD and Grok right now 😂
