The tips of the rotors approach the speed of sound. Around Mach 0.95.

I'm sure someone can do the math on the maximum debris field, but I think it'll be larger than you're thinking.

Isn't it concerning that Tesla has 500 million miles of driving and is still L2, when Waymo is at 20 million and they're at L4?

Maybe Tesla's approach isn't the way to go.

Because society can't handle that.

And I think that's a fine reason. Even if you don't think it's a fine reason, it's not going to change.

> Waymo will coninue piddling around SF with their $500,000 cars until eternity

And Phoenix, and very soon LA, and very soon Austin. They're expanding, not staying in one spot for eternity.

> Meanwhile Tesla and Comma (both pure vision) are the only operational L3 systems being used every day by regular people to drive millions of miles.

What a coincidence, because L2 (what Tesla actually is) to L4 self driving are millions of miles away from each other.

Waymo seems to work the same in pretty heavy rain as a clear day in SF. They're testing snow a lot more now, no idea how good it is yet.

Vision-only is very very very far behind other techniques. Cruise (the self driving company, not OP) was killed by an overzealous CEO, not by their chosen technique. Waymo drives great in SF.

> If a company needs to do a layoff to remain viable it must be allowed to

What makes you think that's why most of these tech companies are laying people off?
