Because when they succeed it will return more than the investment? By many times?
The product is being tested. Many things, including life changing drugs, are developed this way.
We both agree Waymo definitely doesn’t sell its half baked product calling it Full Self Driving before it’s ready.
- bko 5y agoWhy do you need to jump to "Full Self Driving"? Presumably there are intermediaries. They're whole plan lacks a feedback mechanism. You don't even know the return if they succeed. Drug companies have a long history so they can anticipate the cost of development, odds of success and payoff if successful. They do all these things prior to any investments being made. The closest Waymo has is # of truck drivers * salary = profit. The top-down Waymo method is a failure.
- sidibe 5y ago> Why do you need to jump to "Full Self Driving"? Presumably there are intermediaries. They've explained this very often. Unlike Tesla, they don't think you can go through the intermediaries without the dangerous situation of drivers not paying attention because it usually works. Based on their experiences a decade ago of employees using it as drivers assist, people check out and it becomes more and more dangerous even if the software is improving.
