FSD requires driver supervision but is more advanced than Cruise and Waymo.

Musk criticized Waymo for its limited capabilities outside specific areas.

Waymo struggles with unexpected situations and obstacles outside mapped areas.

Tesla's FSD completed a trip in San Francisco without additional hardware.

Tesla's FSD is under investigation and still requires active driver supervision.

Full autonomy depends on surpassing human driver reliability and regulatory approval.
