Big difference here is that it becomes more useful as it gets better. Self driving cars aren't useful until they reach a certain threshold.

I think there is a feedback loop with self-driving cars.

More self-driving cars on the road -> more driving data for that company -> better self driving cars

We are seeing continuous improvements in image and video generation / understanding every year. It was just probably too naive to think that self driving can work well without getting to human level video understanding (which is still not AGI).

But when we have that, it’s hard to believe that self driving won’t work.
