I think you're missing the narrative that the self-driving industry is pushing here. They "solved the problem" and their fleets driving around "autonomously" is being done in order to demonstrate this to the public. A golf cart is obviously unsuitable for that purpose. I think this narrative has run out of steam at this point, by the way. Waymo's valuation has gone from $175B to $105B to $30B since 2018. Zoox specifically is now laying off engineers.

Wait, Zoox was valued at 175B at one point? Is this true? Can you point me to any resources on this?

  They said Waymo had that valuation.

Waymo has had a single round with outside money, and that valued it at $30bn.
