Robot cars will take decades of slow progress to be realized otherwise tons of their drivers and innocent drivers will perish.

Too many bought what used car salesman (his shtick) Elon Musk sold us and still tries to.

Ford and others bought his sales pitch and followed him then realized wait this used car salesman is all talk/hubris

Not to say challenges don’t remain, but it’s undeniable the technology has come a long way in the last few years. https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=318&v=aj8TRtr64xQ

I’m not hating, there is of course progress being made. It’s a tough problem, but I would not call it “come a long way”.
