Why does it matter? Did you ask the same question in 2007-8 when the first Waymo cars were on the streets for testing?

No.

It’s a cool concept car, and very impressive engineering. I don’t get why people hate on it so much.

I didn’t, because Waymo cars were proof of concept, not proof of wallet size.

It is very impressive engineering, just not very useful or ever going to result in any viable product. It’s a dead end. A waste of somebody’s engineering effort and talent for a one-time rich guy demo item. People hate on it because they get it.
