Sounds like they just need a few more years...
Until what? 100% replacement of human-driven cars? Being rolled out for areas covering 50% of the population? Where is the goal line here?
We are already at the stage of commercial operation, with rides available to the general public - even though only in a few locations.
Sure, it's far from being everywhere, but why pretend that progress has stalled, when it clearly hasn't?
My point is that the 'give it a few more years' mantra gets repeated for decades
