The technology has come a long way since the early days of the DARPA grand challenge. Fortunately, the technology will continue to progress, independent of your ability to comprehend it.

Your response is the playbook for these types of scams. Don’t believe your lying eyes, everything’s great.
Perhaps I’m simple, but I’m pretty sure the people who dropped $10k on full self driving “in a year” or “in the future” in their Tesla model S in 2017 got fleeced. Tesla sold access to a product that doesn’t exist, and never delivered it. Uber sold a business model to stupid investors that doesn’t exist to justify breaking other laws.
That doesn’t mean that the long running Google work in the field, etc is a scam. That doesn’t mean that working on self driving is unethical. Ripping off people is.

Seems like you're still grappling with your own stance on the issue.
