Unicorns are setting up their own venture capital funds

There's probably a profitable use case in there somewhere for level 4 cars. I'm thinking office parks and corporate campuses. But I share this belief that self driving cars are way over-hyped and aren't going to be here any time soon.

That's what university research and small self driving cars people always say - "it'll be used at airports and campuses" - but in reality there are very few campuses that would benefit, and airports mostly already have internal transit solutions.

Why do you say that few campuses would benefit? In San Francisco alone, USF, UCSF, SFSU, AAU, and CCA all have shuttles. And that's in a city with good public transit.

As best I can tell, Waymo's upcoming service is Level 4 with a remote backup driver for times when the software can't cope.
