      Just like self driving! In 2010 it was almost there, just needed a few more years…

        Yes actually (except more than a few years).

        Waymo is already operating a robotaxi service in 3 cities, now they just need to expand and find a way to make it not lose money.

            Until what? 100% replacement of human-driven cars? Being rolled out for areas covering 50% of the population? Where is the goal line here?

            We are already at the stage of commercial operation, with rides available to the general public - even though only in a few locations.

            Sure, it’s far from being everywhere, but why pretend that progress has stalled, when it clearly hasn’t?

              My point is that the ‘give it a few more years’ mantra gets repeated for decades

        Go see videos of how well FSD V12 performs and you’re up for a surprise. Full self driving sucks untill it doesn’t. AIDRIVR puts up good content if you want recommendations.
