Domestically, Tesla will compete with the self-driving taxi service Waymo (Google), whose introduction started in 2020. On the global market, Musk’s company will also face competition from Chinese companies Apollo Go, WeRide, and Pony AI.
In 2016, Musk first announced to Tesla investors that the company would present a self-driving car capable of safely transporting passengers in about a year. However, it has not hit the market yet.
