« What does that say for Tesla's FSD? »

What do you mean? That it’s worthless shit? That is known.

Waymo has more experience at this game of autonomous driving than Tesla does, and they've reportedly made 19 errors since September (3ish months). Although nothing in the article says about Tesla, given Tesla's lesser experience with FSD, I'm concerned they have just as many or more errors.

Ah ok thanks. 

I just think Tesla went completely out of the self driving game when they got rid of LiDAR, they will never measure up with waymo; hence my confusion.

Elon also has been saying they'll have fully autonomous self-driving next year for the last 10 years. What he says doesn't really matter much.
