You conveniently left out the first part of the sentence you quoted:

> Currently available software may very well make human drivers both more comfortable and safe...

Which is objectively not what Waymo does, and whether intentional or not, invalidates the progress that has been made.

Also, immediately preceding that:

> Driverless vehicles in closed systems have been in use for a long time.

Which is also not what current frontier self driving technology is.

> Where did anyone make this argument?

The title of the article is quite literally "Is Winter Coming?"
