I think it is entirely possible for it to be cool but still not great. I like AVs and a vehicle that is built for just autonomous operation does appeal to me. I just have doubts about how reliable it can be with just cameras as tracking and also think as a autonomous-only vehicle it does not go far enough as it is basically just a traditional EV with some things like mirrors, driver controls and rear window removed. The Zoox vehicle is a much more radical redesign than Cybercab.
I will say Tesla FSD does do a pretty good job when supervised but I would not trust it to necessarily handle difficult conditions or even do a job that is as good as the systems that utilize a more complete sensor suite.
