Ross Gerber Calls Waymo 'Way Safer And Better' Than Tesla's FSD, Questions Whether Elon Musk Can 'Catch U

Ross Gerber Calls Waymo 'Way Safer And Better' Than Tesla's FSD, Questions Whether Elon Musk Can 'Catch U centers on competing claims about autonomous driving systems. Speaking on X Sunday, Gerber said he has been using Waymo to commute and described Robotaxis in Los Angeles as driving better than human drivers. He argued Waymo is trained to avoid difficult areas and turns where Tesla “tries and fails often,” adding that this approach can involve longer routes. Gerber said the systems cannot be directly compared and asked whether Tesla can “catch up” with its vision-based Full Self-Driving (FSD). The report also notes Tesla’s Robotaxi push in Texas after the Texas Department of Transportation executive director Marc Williams backed its Cybercab, calling it a “significant shift.” In parallel, Waymo recently introduced a premium subscription tier, Waymo Premier, priced at $29.99 per month, and issued a recall for nearly 4,000 Robotaxis due to an issue that may cause speed into construction zones. Tesla shares were down 0.50% to $398.50 after hours Friday.
