> Or, to put it another way, if self driving cars truly exist, you’ll have a lot more types of robotics completely autonomously operating.
Which is why you solve the general humanoid-robot problem because then you’ve solved many autonomy problems including that of driving because then the humanoid-robot does the driving… as well as perform many other general world tasks.
I bought FSD on Sept 19th, 2025. I have not driven my Tesla on a public road since then. It is all done by FSD. I just completed a trip from Pittsburgh to Louisianna to Florida and back to Pittsburgh without touching the wheel. Perhaps the author ought to try it.
Mr. Bullwinkle acknowledges Comma.ai, but doesn't dig into them deeply. It's really really good cruise control on freeways. That task is well defined. Every new car that is sold today should be that good. It's not self driving, it's not sentient, it doesn't change lanes for you. But I can do the city driving. It's the long boring endless stretches of freeway that was the problem and they've solved that. Yes there's more to go, but cameras + radar is good enough. The insightful thing is to get the insurance companies on board. Money talks.
