Or they just want you (and more importantly their potential fleet/commercial customers) to think this. Whether they are ready or not, that kind of announcement further marginalizes the credibility of competing efforts. It could also be interpreted as a move to counter the growing public perception that self-driving cars are "not ready."
- pavs 8y agoNo matter how much money Alphabet has lying around, 6B is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on credibility. They are confident in their product and confident in return of their investment. Tesla is doing a great job at screwing up public perception on self-driving cars, when it itself is not a self-driving car (it's a glorified driver assist).
