Waymo-like cars for personal ownership should be a bigger push, author says

The author argues it is surprising that there has been so little push for a Waymo-like system that people could buy for personal use.

They are not talking about Tesla FSD or Comma-style driver assistance, but a full Waymo-like autonomous system.
The post acknowledges the commercial and liability hurdles.
The core point is that the technology already seems good enough to begin broader deployment, and personal ownership is likely where the category eventually heads.
The author frames this as one of the rare sci-fi ideas society has actually gotten mostly right.
