We do not. We have much better cruise control and some rudimentary geofenced autonomy. In our lifetimes, neither you nor I will be able to drive in a car that, based on deep learning training on a corpus of real world generated data, goes wherever we want it to whenever we want it to, autonomously.

This works now. We just don't dare let it. Self-driving cars are a political problem, not (just) a technical one.

Posting this from the backseat of a Waymo driving me from point A to B on its own.

  • They said "goes wherever we want it to whenever we want it to", Waymo is geofenced unless I missed some big news.

    (That said, I disagree with them saying "In our lifetimes, neither you nor I", that's much too strong a claim)
