I think Google can handle paying for any number of $250k cars to get a good share of the future of transportation.

I expect that in 10-20 years, all cars will be self driving.

I’ve heard that 10-20 years self driving spiel since Uber launched

I was also promised that I’d be 3d printing my shoes and living in the metaverse and AI will make me magical new products

All I really got was an endless social media feed

This argument proves too much. That some technical progress arrives slower than predicted does not mean no progress ever occurs.

My Tesla is quite reliable when self driving!
