There is some amount of truth on the AI coding claims.

But, what's with the self driving hate? I take Waymos on a regular basis, and he is basing his credibility on the claim that they are not a thing. Makes him sound bitter more than insightful.

George famously started a self driving hardware-as-an-addon company. He started after both claiming self driving was easy, and reportedly taking up an Elon bounty/bet in the seven figure range to make self driving AI for Tesla.

I think some of the “hate” is the hype. We’re all tired of companies announcing ground breaking tech that isn’t readily available a decade later.

I don’t live in California (like most of the population of the planet) - Toronto for 18 years and now the American side of the Great Lakes.

Ice storms, snow, sleet, cold weather 5-6 months out of the year. Batteries suck in the cold, sensors fail or under-perform. Hell, door handles and windows struggle in this weather.

Waymo is not a thing in NY or Chicago or Minneapolis or Philadelphia (I could go on).

		And that's just in North America where cities were built for cars and with cars in mind. Autonomous driving in Europe or Asia is likely a magnitude harder due to windy roads, non trivial intersections, complex interactions of humans, bikes, trams and cars etc.
