Waymo founder: Tesla FSD would FAIL a DMV eye test, plus all-new Volvo EX60

from Quick Charge · host 9to5Mac

On today's highly observant episode of Quick Charge, Waymo founder John Krafcik takes aim at Tesla's Full Self Driving hardware limitations and Volvo Cars rolls out their most important new product of the 2020s: the all-new EX60 electric SUV! The Waymo founder says it's Tesla's antiquated camera tech, not necessarily its FSD software, that's keeping the company from offering truly autonomous robotaxis – and even says they'd fail a DMV eye exam! We've also got a look at the all-new, ultra fast charging Volvo EX60 and Peter Johnson looks into the crystal ball to peer into the future of Hyundai's upscale Genesis brand.
