I think it's safe to assume that, while self-driving tech will have broad-reaching DL-AI applications for Alphabet, there is a plan to directly sell the self-driving tech somehow. Otherwise why create the brand Waymo? If it was simply

Part of the problem is that fixing Newton is more than just adjusting the equation; it requires making up a whole new constant , which to some is worse than making up a whole new class of matter. Constants don't have explanations; the
