Current language models (misnomered as “AI”) are great at some things but fail at any real thinking.

Self-Driving works decently in predictable environments but anything outside of those limits can make it literally crash and burn.

Public road transportation by individuals just has too many cases where real decision-making is required.

    I mean, Waymo is still actively expanding to new cities and expanding its coverage areas within cities.

    Tesla may have given up on the consumer market for that reason if they were banking on a super llm based self driving system, or it could just be because they got burned when Elon rallied consumers against them.
