It’s the other way around. Waymo may do the job exquisitely, but exquisite is also expensive. Telsa has always constrained their system to lower cost hardware. It’ll be easier for Tesla to eventually punch through than for Waymo to cut their costs to that of a Tesla robotaxi.

Hardware drops in price.
I reckon a fleet operator would rather pay more for better self-drive reliability. If you can't make it a million km between human interventions, or doesn't matter if you're four or low-five figures cheaper. Remember that a taxi medallion is six figures in NYC.

Tesla is stuck in Level 2 limbo. That doesn't work on a Robotaxi with no steering wheel.
