    Not to say challenges don’t remain, but it’s undeniable the technology has come a long way in the last few years. https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=318&v=aj8TRtr64xQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=318&v=aj8TRtr64xQ

      You fell for the boondoggle. Waymo has a very narrow set of routes you can take. They collect ultra HD maps for those routes in SF which has a completely unsustainable human labor cost. It doesn’t scale to “drive me on any road”. Waymo is localized-only driving funded at a major loss by a search ads monopoly. Cruise does the same, just with VC money (and weird low-traffic hours of operation). They have not solved driving in the generic sense and they are fooling you (and investors)

        I’m not hating, there is of course progress being made. It’s a tough problem, but I would not call it “come a long way”. https://twitter.com/irapolis/status/1631926001700835328?s=20 https://twitter.com/irapolis/status/1631926001700835328?s=20 And https://sfstandard.com/community/stalled-waymo-creates-traffic-chaos-in-mission/ https://sfstandard.com/community/stalled-waymo-creates-traff...
