I'm sure Waymo will make a lot of progress with their massive investment but using SV money as an indicator for a project's ultimate success seems unwise at this point. I think the real question is whether the big investors in self-driving cars will make progress creating virtual rails for their vehicles, e.g. roads where we can keep pedestrians out.

> roads where we can keep pedestrians out. Aren't major roads pedestrian free in the US? Motorways and major roads are in the UK.

  Only motorways in the UK, and roads designated under special classification. I've walked and cycled along multilane A-roads. It's not fun but it's legal.
