Tesla is building its own maps to fix recurring FSD problems with speed limits, parking, and routes. The change reverses the company's prior stance that map-dependent systems are brittle.
The new effort shows the company's fleet performing the same mapping work that Waymo vehicles carry out to handle situations the system cannot reliably solve on its own.
The source text states that the core distinction does not hold if the goal is simply that both companies create their own maps for the self-driving system.
