I agree Waymo can't scale, but I think that was apparent 5 years ago too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22632588 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22632588 -- comment a year ago on the end of Starsky Robotics (good blog post) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22633543 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22633543 -- further down in the thread quoting Chris Urmson from March 2016, and also Bill Gurley from 2018 Sure things could have changed, but by all accounts they haven't, given the lack of deployment. They took 5 years to get to 90%, another 5 to get to 99%, and will take roughly the same amount of time to get to 99.9%, etc. And that doesn't mean they're done. (I have been following this for at least 10 years, and I also worked on a college project in autonomous vehicles 21 years ago. It was not good, but the deployment and philosophical issues are identical to the ones back then IMO.)
