Sure, but so will Google. Their latest claim is > 1.5m autonomous miles and thanks to their Streetview project they have a ton more detailed mapping data than that.

Google doesn't currently have a plan to scale.

Btw, I'm not saying that Google didn't do a great job, and make valuable progress. The game, however, is about to take a huge leap. Google was an early investor in Uber and many thought they were going to cooperate.
