Waymo's autonomous vehicles are just barely good enough, which isn't yet good enough to build a viable business off of. The cost and complexity of deploying autonomous vehicles does not yet match the value proposition. Waymo's progress had plateaued, and it's reasonable to presume that many of the other outfits working on autonomous vehicles will arrive at the same plateau shortly if they haven't already. Fundamental research is needed to get off that plateau, the solutions are unknown. If we take just barely good enough as the status quo we can expect over the next several years, then Nuro is well positioned. You can actually build a revenue generating business with just barely good enough autonomy doing unmanned delivery. Aurora is good because they acknowledge that building capable autonomous vehicles is still an applied science problem. There is still invention that needs to be done.
