WAYMO: “TESLA WAS RIGHT, WE WASTED YEARS”
Waymo dropped a new research paper that basically says: if you want smarter self-driving cars, just throw more data and computing power at the problem.
That’s exactly what Tesla's been doing for years - ditching the old-school methods, building giant AI supercomputers, and using their army of cars to suck up data nonstop.
Corry Wang, who runs the compute show at Anthropic, said it best:
“Waymo was wrong. Tesla was right.”
Brutal.
If this holds up, Tesla could be about to pull a GPT-3-level glow-up in autonomous driving - while Waymo watches from the rearview.
