They are doing exactly what Tesla isn't willing to do and are being responsible in exactly the way Tesla isn't.

But it's an expensive dead-end for most purposes, esp re the insane mapping. Ok for city robo-taxis. Doesn't solve the real problem to be solved.

Cars drive in cities, last I checked.

I guess you're saying that "cities are mapped, dude." But not mapped in anything like the way Waymo maps for this purpose: if I heard right, yesterday, mapped to the centimeter and very frequently updated to deal with any changes of any kind!

Driving in cities is a real problem that will really need to be solved.
