Waymo came out of X.

  The question remains. Waymo is not really a product and it's unclear when it will become one in a broadly-deployed way.

    What product does Uber or Lyft or DoorDash or Instacart have? People take Waymo on a daily basis without incident. Just because it may not be available to you doesn't mean it's not real. It is heads and shoulders above anyone else in the industry.

  The technology predates X; X just housed it for a while. There were self-driving cars at Google in 2008, that look almost exactly like the ones that drive around now, except the computer vision hardware was bulkier.

    That doesn’t sound right. Do you mean the Google Street View cars? Those weren’t self-driving and Google didn’t start work on that front until Sebastian Thrun joined Google X in 2009.

      Google X starting 2010. I saw self-driving cars (large spinning cameras) in the lot of Crittenden within a year of joining. So maybe it was 2009, but it was definitely before X existed.

        No, you’re right about X. My recollection was off by a year too.
