Who says it needs to be “fully” autonomous? I’m sure plenty people who have long highway commutes would still benefit, same with truckers.

Acrisure Stadium has an opening for goal post movers, if you're looking for work.

Highway driver assist exists and has been around for a long time.
 
"Fully" autonomous does not and never will.
 
Calling driver assist "autonomous driving" just encourages people to nap behind the wheel or jerk off or whatever instead of paying attention.

There are autonomous cars driving the streets of San Francisco today. I have seen the Waymo cars without a driver with my own eyes.

Ok now you’re just being deliberately ignorant.

I'll believe it when I see these things in autonomous revenue service carrying paid passengers, and not a second beforehand. It's been "right around the corner" for over a decade now, and autonomous vehicle testing has shown that they're far deadlier per 100 million vehicle miles traveled than human drivers are.

Weird, I just tried to call an autonomous taxi here in Pittsburgh but all the companies developing them went out of business.
 
If you're a big enough sucker to watch that video and think it means autonomous taxis are ready to go everywhere and anywhere, let me also sell you on another great investment: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/star-citizen

What was that you said about moving goalposts?

“The technology isn’t accessible to all 8 billion people on Earth, therefore it doesn’t exist and NEVER will!”

You're looking at an easily faked demo video in a controlled setting and claiming that it means that the autonomous taxi is here and in revenue service now.
 
Like I said, call me when these things are in revenue service carrying paid passengers.

Companies lie about their projects all the time. The entire Nikola hyrogen-powered truck demo was faked.

If you can watch that video and conclude from it that it means that self-driving cars are coming to streets everywhere in America any minute, well, there's one of you born every minute.
