I don’t think lack of hardware expertise is the problem. The biggest issue is that Google leadership does not seem capable of thinking long or even medium term.

I don’t think lack of hardware expertise is the problem. The biggest issue is that Google leadership does not seem capable of thinking long or even medium term. Waymo, Glass, and the myriad of discontinued software products are a proof of it.
- fragmede 2y agoHow is Waymo proof that they're incapable of thinking long term? They've been funding it since 2009, and are only now just getting to market in 2024. They are plenty of examples where Google's failed to think long term, but I have a hard time seeing Waymo as one of them. Waymo is operational in several cities in the US so it doesn't seem like Google's about to cancel it and they raised another 6.5 billion earlier this year.
- NewJazz 2y agoIs there anything remotely competitive for Waymo? GM noped out of the self driving market after embarrassing themselves, and Tesla is still dying on the "we don't need no stinking lidar" hill.
