I didn't say "every little bit helps". "80/20" absolutely can't be applied to "almost everything" and assuming it can is lazy thinking. Even if it does apply in this case, just because as seconda

You are correct, Waymo has not solved the economics of robotaxis yet. However Waymo does have a huge head start on the solution. Waymo has been able to manage their scale growth to manage the cost of finding these solutions. It seems like a

Tesla is still stuck at Level 3 while Waymo has been operating at level 4 for years. If Tesla does manag to jump straight from level 3 to level 5, they have a chance to compete, but that seems unlikely. They also might move to level 4 and b

This is false. California passed AB 51 in 2016 which codified lane splitting under California law. There is no mention of "air cooling". There are guidelines that say you should not go more than 10 mph faster than traffic and not

"unprovability" is not a property that it is necessary to prove to pick something as an axiom. There is generally a project to reduce axioms to the simplest and weakest forms required to make a proof. This is does result in axioms
