I guess development is driven by military and commercial needs, rather than altruistic needs. The futuristic ads were made for the consumer to feel safe and sound. The actual money flowing went into military applications (drones, guidance s

I don't see it as a significant dis-advantage for Waymo. With modern drones and UAV, getting millimeter level details on infrastructure should be easy and cheap. I would expect such maps for every corner of the world in next 5 to 10 ye

> pointless to try to accumulate more That is only true if you are constrained by lack of opportunities. When money is never enough, then every opportunity to make some is going to be used to the full extent.

Sounds a lot like corporate slavery. When the machines need to be running 24/7, why do they not hire qualified workforce that runs in 3 shifts? Or, hopefully, the engineer who is paid to fix it is paid for their time.
