Do you live in SF (the city, not the Bay Area as a whole) or West LA? I ask because in these areas you can stand on any city street and see several self driving cars go by every few minutes.
It's irrlevant that they've had a few issues. They already work and people love them. It's clear they will eventually replace every uber/lyft driver, probably every taxi driver, they'll likely replace every doordash/grubhub driver with vehicles design to let smaller automated delivery carts go the last few blocks. They may also replace every truck driver. Together that's around 5 million jobs in the USA.
Once they're let on the freeways their usage will expand even faster.

- inferiorhuman 1y agoIt's irrlevant that they've had a few issues. The last Waymo I saw (a couple weeks ago) was stuck trying to make a right turn on to Market St. It was conveniently blocking the pedestrian crosswalk for a few cycles before I went around it. The time before that one got befuddled by a delivery truck and ended up blocking both lanes of 14th Street. Before Cruise imploded they were way worse. I can't say that these self-driving cars have improved much since I moved out of the city a few years back.
