Waymo has fully autonomous commercial operations in 5 cities now. Have you been in one? They are amazing.

Most taxi/rideshare rides occur in cities, not the snowy mountains of Switzerland. Maybe they never make it to those snowy mountains. Who cares?

Five cities in CA/AZ/TX, aka 90 degrees angles grid, 0 inclines, sunshine 300+ days a year, no snow, no rain, perfect visibility, &c. Musk was 100% talking about self driving cars for the average joe, not robotaxis in gentrified city centers. I also have a fully autonomous vehicles, my vacuum cleaner navigates my living room flawlessly...

And again that's exactly what waymo's ceo said, it won't work everywhere / in all conditions, and as it turns out: outside of deserts and the west coasts these conditions are far from edge cases, they're the norm in most of the world

Without even talking about edge cases like mountains, put one of these in Paris or Rome and I give it 15 minutes before it gets stuck/crashes, people underestimate how hard the last 20% will be. 100 000 cars go through that place every single day: https://youtu.be/JgWhagB4d_g?t=79

Zero inclines? No rain? Waymo operates in San Francisco
