I’m not sure if I’m parsing your sentence right but surely you can’t be implying that autonomous driving isn’t possible or that it is some undermined time away?

You can come down to SF and take a waymo today. It works great.



The context was SAE level 5 (Full Driving Automation)

Level 5 vehicles do not require human attention―the “dynamic driving task” is eliminated. Level 5 cars won’t even have steering wheels or acceleration/braking pedals. They will be free from geofencing, able to go anywhere and do anything that an experienced human driver can do.


No one doubted you could take precise area scans of a city and create motorised robots on fixed routes.


Actually, a lot of people doubted that you could ever do what Waymo is doing today in SF (and Phoenix, and probably other places).


Not anyone important.
