It does mean that buying the alternative will usually be a "crappy" choice. Leaving the incumbent with the ability to charge a margin and hire better devs. There will be other players who are competitive locally, or provide "good enough" solutions for some customers.
* Assuming any player finds a viable business model, and that our current understanding of ML, Computer Vision, and control systems is sufficient to produce a commercially viable product.

- lumost 6y agoI think that's where "good enough" comes in. It's likely that some companies will be just compliant, whereas the market leader is well ahead of compliance. e.g. a car that safely comes to a stop in an unhandled situation vs. a car that can handle the situation. It's also possible that the space also reaches commodity status where no differentiators emerge ( as one would expect with a big S curve in performance ).
