Supposedly the self driving capabilities is the reason for the high valuation, but he has lied about having it 'by the end of the year' for about a decade now. So maybe they will catch on around 2030 if the economy doesn't completely collapse in the next few years.

Nobody who knows anything about self-driving would give Tesla any credit for that.

The fact that Tesla's slight improvement to lane-assist is labelled as "full self-driving" by Tesla has really damaged the reputation of the industry. GM is way ahead of them because of the knowledge they have in-house thanks to Cruise. And Cruise gave up because they were so far behind Waymo.

Cruze also parked on a pedestrian, but I think Waymo is only working because google has the money to blow on human monitors working remotely.

Cruze is a different thing. Cruise did have a very public incident where a pedestrian was hit and dragged. But, they had driven more than 1 million miles without that happening.

And while these vehicles do have human monitors, they're mostly that: monitors. The cars are mostly driving themselves.
