🚘 Self-Driving Cars Take Over The Roads in Major US Cities

You’ve seen the cars with the “spinny-thingies” on top—those are Waymo self-driving cars, and they’ve now launched in their 5th city, Atlanta. Tesla just rolled out its first ever Robotaxi in Austin too (with safety drivers on board).

Tesla uses only cameras. Waymo uses LiDAR, radar, and cameras—which explains the spinning tech on top.

Tesla’s system is much cheaper, but less reliable. An older version of the software was even fooled by a painted backdrop.

Waymo is already Level 4 autonomous. Tesla? Still Level 2, requiring a human in the seat.

The catch? These driverless cars are paving the road to Smart Cities—where humans may be banned from driving, and every move tracked.
