Sorry, that's goalpost moving.

Just reminding you of your earlier claim:

> AI is not good enough yet for anything requiring deep reasoning, mission-critical work...

Is driving a mission-critical function? Due to its safety critical nature, many would say "yes".

So have you simply pivoted to "oh it does work, but it's not as profitable as it should be"?

You started the business discussion, not me. You need to decide if you want to continue it or not.

When your tech is unreliable, it costs you money. The need for remote human assistance during edge cases means you have to staff that. You need really expensive sensors, so more upfront costs and maintenance. You can't run when it's rainy/snowy/etc, so more downtime. Maybe even slower rides and longer wait times so lower utilization. And of course more AI updates, more training, more data cleaning/labeling, more engineers etc etc.

Waymo vehicles don't work in the rain? This is easily verifiable as false.

You really have a tough time with being wrong, don't you?
