Probably the same reason Google kills projects if they don't become a giant market leading success quickly. At Google/Alphabet's current scale a moderate win is not worth pursuing.
- ghaff 6y agoI wouldn't bet on it but I also wouldn't be completely shocked in Alphabet ends up pulling the plug. Can they create a product they can sell that provides full autonomy under a useful subset of conditions within the next decade? If their honest answer is no then I have to think people within Alphabet are going to start asking hard questions.
