Waymo is the best, but IMO even they are not yet a counterpoint, because they're geo-fenced.
If I had to put money on who gets fully-general first, I'd put it on Waymo; but I have no idea what anyone in China is doing so there's plenty of room for surprises.
The geofenced part is what I failed to consider. I guess you can't consider it general purpose unless you can just throw the system into a new environment with a reasonable probability of success.
