    That is a terrible guess, and it isn’t even remotely close on the scale of decades.

    No. It’s based on how technologies are adopted, which tends to follow an s-curve.

    Level 4 self-driving cars are already on the road in China & the US.

      Lol, yup and it is going so well.

      The only reason self driving cars are legal on US roads is we actually hate pedestrians as drivers in the US and we don’t really give a shit about traffic safety.

        I don’t understand the corlation between hateing pedestrians (fully agree) and the self driving car

          There are actually two ways to make a self driving car.

          1. make a self driving car that can be trusted to drive around pedestrian filled environments and not kill them (this option is extremely hard with literally infinite edgecases)

          2. dehumanize pedestrians culturally and legally to the point that the bar for safety becomes a bludgeon to beat them with, then sell a broken self driving car

          which do you think tesla is choosing?
