Self driving tech is (still) a really hard problem, unlike what people are lead to believe looking at the dozens of company jumping on the bandwagon and releasing cool looking videos.
People look at that recent video of the Tesla car doing a full A to B drive and they're like, wow, that's awesome!
Then, they ask themselves, hmm, I wonder why Google hasn't released anything after a decade of research. And realize too that google had a simple A to B video 8 years ago too... yet 8 years later it's still not ready.
