Self driving cars were here five years ago, which is when Waymo first had driverless cars on roads. Tesla had a wide release of FSD 'Beta' three years ago.
And there's a gulf of a difference on the speed at which hardware that has an 8 year average refresh cycle grows in a market and software that can reach a hundred million users in 3 months.
You’re right. We all love our fully self-driving cars and by 2026, chatbots will write longform narratives so beautifully, we won’t even need cars because we’ll all be transported anywhere we want to go by the magic of books.
