Living in LA where there are plenty of Waymo cars constantly driving around, I strongly disagree with that.

LA has more than 6,000,000 cars.
That is how strong you can disagree with me. 400 out of 6,000,000. And I'm being kind by considering just LA.
What counts is not the total numbers of cars today but the growth rate of this number.
Ten doublings is 1000x
Waymo was founded in 2004. That's a very slow growth rate.
So far, the prediction made in 2018 stands. Self-driving car companies lose money, and are a fiasco.
