You fell for the boondoggle. Waymo has a very narrow set of routes you can take. They collect ultra HD maps for those routes in SF which has a completely unsustainable human labor cost. It doesn’t scale to “drive me on any road”. Waymo is localized-only driving funded at a major loss by a search ads monopoly.

Cruise does the same, just with VC money (and weird low-traffic hours of operation).

They have not solved driving in the generic sense and they are fooling you (and investors)
