Tesla’s Autopilot Won’t Achieve Full Autonomy, Waymo CEO Says

Tesla Inc. has taken a misguided approach to developing fully autonomous cars and its “full self-driving” system will fail to live up to its billing, the head of Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo told a German business magazine.

“It is a misconception that you can simply develop a driver-assistance system further until one day you can magically jump to a fully autonomous driving system,” John Krafcik, the chief executive officer of Waymo, said in an interview with Manager Magazin.
