because some human drivers are great and some roads are very hard.
But this is, you know, this is in motion already.
And if you look at the progress over 10 years, it's extraordinary.
Frankly, I'm stunned that anyone even debates this at this point.
It's certainly the case of Waymo.
Other companies remains to be seen.
Of course.
I mean, look, there are a hundred deaths a day to human drivers, human error.
And, you know, people focus on these fairly, I mean, almost always insignificant incidents that occur with these autonomous vehicles.
And Waymo, you know, nothing, when a vehicle is in motion, no vehicle is perfect.
But Waymo is by far the best actor here doing extraordinary work and demonstrating this every day.
Now, for every incident, there is development in the back end to mitigate and eliminate that incident happening again.
I mean, the logic here against this technology is so absurd.
People forget commercial aviation is less than 100 years old as we know it.
They were extraordinary disasters.
It had absolutely no effect on the growth of commercial aviation.
Autonomous vehicles out of the gate, and Waymo certainly, are already orders of magnitude better than the majority of human drivers.
And so to suggest that because after 15 years they're not 100% perfect,
shows a profound lack of seriousness in how technologies evolve and get deployed.
The rate at which they're improving is so extraordinary.
