"But Tim, doesn't Waymo need to pay someone to manually label every stop sign and pothole?" Tesla has a technology called fleet scale auto-labelling for this purpose. I bet Waymo has something similar!

All of this is enabled by fleet scale auto-labelling. By using video data from multiple trips in the same location, we can reconstruct the entire scene

I wish the "Waymo isn't scalable because they need maps" people would do some back-of-the-napkin math. The SF metro area has 43,000 lane-miles of roads. Say it costs $10 to map each mile. That's $430,000 for the whole region. Trivial relative to the potential market.

The statement is part of a technical discussion about autonomous vehicle technology, specifically addressing the scalability and mapping strategies of companies like Waymo and Tesla. It engages in a debate about the feasibility and methods of mapping for autonomous driving, which is a public issue related to technology and innovation.
