Scaling production isn't the issue for Waymo, it's scaling and maintaining operational capabilities within cities at a cost that still lets them be profitable.

I think it's possible, but it's definitely less trivial than scaling production of more self driving cars.
- Zenzero 2y agoThose go hand in hand. In theory the successful mass production of their vehicles should drop the cost so that they can turn a profit. The increased number of vehicles and ridership cover the staff to maintain them. As I mentioned elsewhere I would not be surprised if the plush leather seats give way to easily cleaned hard plastic chairs.
- TulliusCicero 2y agoNo, I'm saying the problem is scaling that's not just building and maintaining the cars themselves, but rather building and maintaining capability around the cars.
