- mattigames 8y ago8 million is peanuts compared to the cost that self-driving has had for google and that cost will only increase until successful, and if that happens it will save thousands of lives (mostly because it can't get drunk, it's mood-less and respects speed limits)
- ykevinator 8y agoI'm pro self driving car, just saying it's absurd to give taxpayer money to Google (Amazon, etc.)
- mattigames 8y ago8 million is not enough to buy a single tank for the military, and they buy hundreds of those; if wasting taxpayers is your concern you looking at the wrong places.
