It's already spent a decade in beta, the DARPA self driving car challenge was completed in 2005.

How long it's taking to get out of beta makes me suspect there is a fundamental problem, possibly a fundamental design decision, that's the the problem. Possibly trying to use machine learning.

It would be ironic, if better and better AI helps them code self driving software which while being written by AI, does not use AI algorithms.

My point is any time a tech is 99% done, but then takes longer and longer, and longer to reach 100%, it's most likely a fundamental design problem. And the solution is to drop most of the design and do something radically different.

Thanks for the insight!

It also seems like this rabbit hole is much deeper than we initially expected. I saw a clip with Elon all the way back to 2015, pretty much every year saying that they expect FSV to be fully self driving next year. The AI is just not there yet, and maybe the tools we have right now are just not sufficient...
