"To be fair, that was almost true." No, it was not even close to "almost true" except for hype from the various hypesters. Waymo currently operates in TWO areas, not three. Phoenix and San Fran are not "fairly difficult." Come to Michigan in the winter for difficult. Come to Denver in the winter. Waymo has (wisely) selected areas that are either very simple in layout, that have sympathetic governments, or both. And what other competitors are out there with "strong technology"? Robotaxis are a novelty. Just like the monorail at Disneyland.
