I actually think this is kinda unfair. Up until recently, the only self driving system actually worth a shit was Tesla's. Due to the way it collected street data and upcycled it. The problem is that the system they implemented has a ceiling, but it was heads and tails above all competition for a while. Waymo are benefiting from not being Musk related, but as things stand, they're using more tele-operators than Tesla did for the normal Tesla's. Compared to the Robotaxis, who knows. That will come out in a few years.
It was ok-ish when it had lidar
I don't think Tesla ever used LIDAR. Are you possibly thinking of RADAR?
Probably. I know they removed hardware in favor of just cameras.
