Waymo has also partnered with a lot of the rest of the auto industry with little to show for it...

I wonder if this time it'll be different now it looks like Tesla might finally get self driving to the mass market.

A bit thin. Seems like they got the MoU done first - without solving any of the hard questions.

Also - big warning that they're highlighting "wave" and Toyota Technologies in general.

This is the choice quote from the article:

"Toyota and Waymo aim to combine their respective strengths to develop a new autonomous vehicle platform. In parallel, the companies will explore how to leverage Waymo's autonomous technology and Toyota's vehicle expertise to enhance next-generation personally owned vehicles (POVs)."

Toyota has been way, way behind on electrification. I suspect they’ve been Innovator’s Dilemma’d are are in a death spiral that they haven’t even noticed yet
