    Yeah the dark “secret” is they have spent $100 billion dollars and these cars still can’t do anything useful and relatively safe.

      Which is why it’s a lot like Theranos; they raised (and burned through) a ton of money trying to build something that would be really useful but was still decades from technological feasibility.

        not decades from feasibility. But a physical impossibility. Some of the stuff they were supposed to detect was literally not present in a detectable quantity in the single drop of blood they scanned.

        Well I should hope autonomous driving tech people believe they can make it work, despite the incredible expense and waste.
