AVs have also struggled with regulatory muddle, which is partly my point.

Self-driving is very possible in many situations and if there was a "Manhattan Project" for self-driving to be up and running by 2025 I think we could do it... But there are so many vested interests that this won't happen.

... and then everyone is disappointed.

BTW, I'm not saying this is all bad... Everyone asking for a 6-month AI research moratorium gets it indirectly via societal inertia and regulatory muddle!
