One difference is Tesla runs on all roads basically (subject to weather view on cameras). It's gm super cruise and google that only work on road that have been imaged. It does seem that super cruise and google waymo is ahead of tesla. Tesla is trying to solve a harder problem, random roads and conditions. I think that tesla won't succeed very soon, and as the "pre-scan the road" groups get better and better tesla's approach will be seen as unacceptable risky. I have only driven the new versions a few time, it was interesting to see all the things they could see but it just wasn't safe. Waymo has their weird stuff but did seem much safer in theory. But who knows if there is a hole, like happened in Arizona to that poor woman who got run over in the night while crossing the dark road.
