Sure, but the question is why either of those things happened, given Google's immense resources and talent. The fact that OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceXAI and 3 different Chinese compan…

It's far far too early to say whether it turned out to be wrong. Tesla also has a robotaxi service in Dallas, FWIW, in testing.
