Waymo isn't a bet. At least, isn't a bet that is projected to be even remotely cash positive, much less having a significant percentage in Alphabet's revenue, in any foreseeable future.

- dmitriid 4y agoAll these "north star goals" and "company bets" are often pipe dreams. Waymo has been around for 13 years now. It's bet is to have full level 4 autonomy, at least. And that is another 20 years away in an optmistic scenario. Well, unless you only drive on sunny days in a geofenced region in Arizona and call crashing into a bus "a misunderstanding and a learning experience".
