"but investors aren't wowed."

It's almost like there have been accidents with the slightly automated cars that are already on the road and there are no states that allow fully automated driving at their current capabilities.

There are states that are clearly willing to work with companies in a regulated and cautious manner but Tesla spent the last decade blowing smoke up everyone's ass that FSD gives their car full taxi abilities "within the next year" so others have filled in with the actual tech and regulatory steps necessary

Waymo’s have taken over downtown SF.

To me, logically, a self driving car only has to be better than the average human driver. I acknowledge that emotionally it feels different when there is an accident involving self driving.
