Waymo self driving cars are very good imo, I live near a location where they operate and drive along side them daily on my way to work and have ridden in one twice. They are way better than human drives in my area.

Does waymo even make a profit yet? Look at all the high tech crap they have to have on the cars just to operate in highly developed city. As long as the USA's road conditions remain on par with subharan Africa that's never coming to consumer cars.

Honestly, no clue. Probably not. You're right, they have a big obstacle in the way of becoming profitable if they aren't because they only operate in certain areas they have a lot of training data for.
