Am I the only one that it kinda bothers that this is a race to be the first one to market? In something like this, I'd rather wait a little bit and wait to see

- ajmurmann 10y agoI think it's more differentiated than that. There were big efforts to have convoys of trucks drive themselves on freeways many years ago. Freeway driving seems pretty solved and save at this point and probably more reliable than human drives. So not realising that does no good. Driving on icy country roads with pedestrians walking on the side is a totally different story. So I think we need to look at this by functionality. We will only learn sooner by releasing mature functionality sooner and can fund research toward more automation. I don't think this is fundamentally different than releasing a web site with all the features you could want on day one. Granted it's like a website handling incredibly important operations that you don't want to go wrong. But that's similar to banking websites, health care applications etc. We didn't insist surgery robots to be a full surgery replacement day one.
