And one of the scariest parts of Waymo is that they may never ship and it'll be 20 billion dollars down the drain

I mean, that’s good though right? If it doesn’t work it doesn’t work. Worst comes to worst taxi drivers still have a job.

I think you mean, worst comes to worst 1.35 million people still die in traffic accidents every year.

If companies really had a noble causing of reducing traffic fatalities I'm pretty sure the billions they spend could be better spent advocating for light rail and buses. And hey, thousands less people would die of lung diseases to boot.
