No, that is not my logic. It completely misrepresents my logic. My comment was not equating hype with reality, it was about the constantly moving goalposts in discussions about _autonomous vehicles_.

In fact, I am not arguing that self-driving cars are perfect or global. I am pointing out how people keep changing the definition of "solved" which makes it look like the finish line keeps moving.

We do have what parent said, it is a reality. It is also the reality that it is not perfect, but somehow the latter is made to minimize or completely dismiss the former.

There are no moving goalposts, though there is a certain lack of precision in the discussion, on both ends. There is a commonly accepted scale of self-driving car autonomy. By some accounts Waymo can be considered to be level 4, by others they are only level 3. By no account are they level 5, nor is anyone else.

Those are the goalposts and they've been in the same spot for quite a while now.
