Even before reaching true autonomous Tesla still has a great advantage over the rest. Tesla is essentially providing everyone who buys the car with a chauffeur. That's still an advange even before the chauffeur could work 100% of time. You might not be able to have the chauffeur to pick up kids yet or may still have to drive the car occasionally when the chauffeur is sick but that (say chauffeur'd 99% of time) is still of a tremendous value. What Waymo or others are doing with a "safety driver" has zero value if not negative value until they achieved close to 100% autonomous capability and not even a day too soon. In theory car companies can do the same as what Tesla is doing although I have not heard any company even mentioned a plan of selling (potentially) FSD capable cars to the general public.
