These numbers suggested that Tesla’s system performed far less effectively compared to Waymo’s average of more than 5,000 miles between disengagements and BMW’s single disengagement in 638 miles of testing. It also proved that Tesla was testing its “self-driving” system far less than its competitors: just 550 miles, compared to Google’s 635,868 miles, the automotive supplier Delphi’s 16,662 miles, and VW’s 14,945 miles in the same year.
