I was in a self-driving taxi yesterday. It didn't need to bump into things to figure out where it was.

    Fair, I thought they all got recalled but I guess they're back. but I'd also counter that Waymo is extremely limited about where it can operate - roughly 10 miles max - which, relevant to my original point was entirely hand-mapped and calibrated by human operators, and the rides are monitored and directed by a control center responding in real-time to the car's feedback.

    Like my printing press example - it still takes a large human team to operate the "self" - driving car.
