I'm thinking back to various promises self-driving would be widespread by 2016. These set a certain expectation for how our roads would look that I don't think has been realized a decade later (even as I've ridden in Waymos/FSD Teslas.)
- dingnuts 2y agoif Elon Musk hadn't convinced the world in 2015 that self driving cars were right around the corner, that could work with just a few sensors and machine learning, maybe we'd have smart highways now. Slightly less fancy technology communicating hazards and such to cars from sensors on the road. But no, we have Waymo, I guess, so that means Musk was right?
