It's time we recenter the discourse on AV tech around the fact that the technology itself is fake. This is not a real technology in any way; if AV tech were mature, we'd see Waymo et al deploying large fleets in every city worldwide.

If AV tech were real it wouldn't look like it does, i.e., a handful of vehicles in a few cities.

This technology doesn't exist in any real sense. This technology is make believe.

We need to recenter the discourse around how AV tech, as such, doesn't exist.

"it's not actually deployed on streets" is something they're deploying capital to counter. what they don't, and won't, have a counter for is that they still make entire categories of mistakes that even bad human drivers don't and are regularly stymied by situations any human driver could negotiate. they've solved the easiest 80% of the problem and have no plan for getting the rest of the way (ie to even mediocre human performance).
