It would be 100% accurate if they put AI instead of autonomous cars

Full self driving by next year right

It is very possible that Musk's predictions are entirely accurate but not in the time frame he promised. Which would actually be appropriate. I made a bet with someone at the outbreak of Covid that within 10 years electric cars and self driving cars would be commonplace in New York, Brussles and Jerusalem. I think I will win the electric car claim, and he will win the self driving. ;/

there's 3000 waymos running around.soon there will be 10000. This prediction may really only be five years off. Do you find it unrealistic for there to be 100000 waymo vehicles by 2032?

Waymo and other FSD has not destroyed jobs but it does seem to have taken large chunks out of the elephant.
