That's the kind of autonomous that'll make a difference


I don't think we get there until we have all of the nearby vehicles on the road communicating.


I can order a Waymo from my phone right now and sleep in the backseat while it drives me across town.


Anywhere in the world under any conditions? (rain, snow, etc)

We're at least a decade away from that.


Those goalposts moved pretty fast from "sleep while it drives me to work" which I can do today to the extreme of being able to drive "Anywhere in the world under any conditions". And I see no reason to believe "all of the nearby vehicles on the road communicating" is the solution to bridging that gap.


> "sleep while it drives me to work"

People work all over the planet during all seasons, don't they?


Reread my original comment or even just the that short seven word quote you have right there. Notice that key word "me". I was speaking about myself in the present tense, not "people... all over the planet during all seasons".


You were commenting on a broader point... now that is some serious "changing goal posts".


Thank you, I appreciate you clarifying to me what I meant when I said what I said.


Hard for me to square that opinion with the fact these are normal for people in some cities now
