Maybe. The way I see it- whoever has the data wins in this new AI arms race. Google would have to make the biggest blunder in history to screw this up. It's not impossible but I wouldn't count them out. Their entire existence and practice of hoovering up all data has led to them this point.

This has been the running hypothesis, but it’s not panning out. Tesla, for example, doesn’t have the unambiguously best self-driving kit despite having unambiguously more data. Google has tons of data, but a lot of it is intelligently-tuned noise in the form of SEO spam.

Don’t they?

If we're being honest and not using backpedaling qualifiers like "available for purchase" or "designed without an ODD", then it's hard to argue how they could be. Multiple companies are operating driverless fleets in cities around the world. Tesla is not one of them.

We all “have the data”.

I build private models scraping the web. I’m iterating on my own virtual world generator using prompts, open source Vulkan renderer. Velocities, positions, color gradients; trivial to for loop your way to a massive DB with open libs.

Technologists are “screwing up” ogling Google/MS like passive consumer drones not seeing doing what Google and MS are doing is do-able at home with curl and open ML libs.
