Reminds me of electricity entering the market and the first DC power stations setup in New York to power a few buildings. It would have been impossible to replicate that model for everyone. AC solved the distance issue.

That's where we are at with self driving. It can only operate in one small area, you can't own one.

We're not even close to where we are with 3d printers today or the microwave in the 50s.

No, it can operate in several small areas, and the number of small areas it can operate in is a deployment issue. It certainly doesn't mean it is solved, but it is largely solved for a large proportion of rides, in as much as they can keep adding new small areas for a very long time without running out of growth-room even if the technology doesn't improve at all.
