    I hate that the article opens with

    Just a decade ago, the concept of self-driving cars might have seemed like something out of a science fiction movie

    Ten years ago there was already a ton of competition in self driving car research. They were first legalized on the roads 10 years ago. Tesla autopilot (including it even though it was a scam) was sold 9 years ago. Google spun off its self driving car division as waymo in 2016.

    This feels like one of those “bruh Zelda ocarina of time came out 29 years ago, we old” memes
