Waymo does not sell cars. They are in a different business.

I don’t really know the numbers but Waymo adds something like 50k worth of hardware into the cars. That is not a viable approach for consumer cars (Mercedes, Tesla, etc).

That hardware cost will drop eventually as it becomes commoditized and competing providers emerge. We're still pretty early in the game.

Maybe. Not everything ever manages to make it to low cost, high volume- either because there is no reasonable path to making it that cheap, or because there are not sufficiently large markets in the in-between prices.
