I will fear AGI when Full Self Driving (FSD) is no longer a fraudulent claim.

Waymo has been running fully driverless commercial vehicles in Phoenix since 2020, and more recently in other cities. And they have competitors: https://www.jefftk.com/p/state-of-generally-available-self-d...

Tesla making misleading claims about what their cars can do doesn't tell you much about the state of the industry.

I live in a zip code that has had Waymo testing for years. The only reason these cars are able to integrate at all is because their sensor package makes them incredibly conspicuous. People give them a very wide berth.

If Waymo had a stealth vehicle with no outward indication it was autonomous, it would not do well. Probably you could just put a microphone in there and count angry-honks-per-mile to measure actual progress.

I used to feel the same way until I called a Waymo and it picked me up and dropped me off in SF, with no driver.
