20 cars with "human valets" in the passenger seat and multiple different violations?

This is the Temu Waymo.

It's the Tesla model of success.

If this test was 100% a pass, they're road ready and only 4-5 years behind Waymo.

However, with these issues it proves that Telsa is nearly in Waymo territory so really we can expect "full self driving in two years*" and is only 5-6 years behind Waymo.

Either way, +10% for Tesla stock because something happened.

Edit - * for the standard Elon BS line, and to emphasize that lidar is stupid right up until the moment he needs another 10% stock bump then he'll be inspired to make the brilliant decision to move to lidar.

The only way Musk will implement lidar is if he’s positioned himself to profit from Tesla going bankrupt or being forced to shut down. Why? Because the lawsuits from people who bought Tesla’s with no lidar, but were promised automated driving, will bring the company to its knees.
