If Tesla’s Robotaxi Miles Keep Compounding at 20% a Week, the Math Gets Interesting Fast
Tesla already leads Waymo in Austin robotaxi miles. Compounding 20% weekly, it would pass Waymo nationally by January!
AI Summary
Tesla has overtaken Waymo in weekly driverless miles in Austin, and its recent 20 percent weekly growth could let it surpass Waymo’s national totals in roughly 11 weeks. If that pace continues, the company would match the combined Uber and Lyft driverless volume across three Texas metros by mid‑February. The growing pool of unsupervised miles is now sizable enough to begin evaluating safety performance against human drivers and Waymo’s fleet. Those results could influence the debate over whether LiDAR sensors are necessary for autonomous taxis.
