Reply to comment by CleaverIam in Have we reached a technological plateau? by CleaverIam

By done I mean 10x the energy out than in. So ready to be deployed. And yes it will still take time to become commercial, but the tech has been invented, the rest is logistics.

Yes waymo has 0 human input, no driver whatsoever. Google it.

If you don't take Elon serious you're shooting yourself in the foot.

Haven't seen an android do anything useful? Nearly every car in the world is produced by robots. Tesla's are completely made by robots. How is that not useful?

To me it seems like you just want to be pessimistic.

Production lines are great but they have been here for years. And they are not androids. Android is by definition a human-like robot. I am not pessimistic. I am simply not seeing the rate of progress we had in the 20th century. I think that all the low hanging fruits are plucked and now we will experience a much slower rate of change. Elon Musk is a vaperware salesman. Most of his ideas are idiotic. The hyperloop, passenger ICBM, the tunnel, the dancing android costume. "Yes waymo has 0 human input, no driver whatsoever. Google it." Interesting. Does it drive along normal highways together with ordinary traffic? If so then this is big.

So just because they don't look like humans they don't count? How narcissistic of you. Robots will never look humans because it would be stupid design.

You're just hellbent on being pessimistic.

Again google it, I'm done talking to you because you won't listen anyway.

They don't count because we had them long ago and they are not general purpose. If I am wrong about that then please tell me.
