> Videos recorded by the company will always be cherry picked by definition, since they would only post videos that show the technology in its optimal working state.
Except FSD Beta videos are coming from actual Tesla owners. Like the one I linked above. A pretty glaring difference.
> A video tells you nothing about where the technology is. Unless we can see real open data about miles driven and number of disengagements, there's no way to tell if Tesla is doing well or not. So far Waymo's numbers are an order of magnitude better than any competition.
I'm not sure how comparable that data is. It seems to just sum up the times where random Tesla's where in Autopilot mode:
1. Autopilot from my understanding is L3 driving, with the driving needing to be attentive
2. They are not recording disengagements, or even near accidents, only full accidents
3. It seems to be like people would use Autopilot mostly on highways and other places where it works more reliably, so it's not a uniform set of miles
By comparison, here is 21 months of self-driving data from Waymo, with every disengagement and near accidents reported [0]. It's L4 driving with no drivers at the wheel. I'm sure Tesla tests their FSD similarly, and probably tracks similar data, are they releasing that? The other ones you posted says very little.

These are just one of many:

You just contradicted yourself. Tesla actually publishes their data here: [1] https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport and here [2]. https://electrek.co/2020/04/22/tesla-autopilot-data-3-billio...
Unless of course, you have inside knowledge on Waymo's stats/data. If that's the case. Please feel free to share.
