Map of operational and testing robotaxis in the US.
It's not a coincidence that the operational locations are only those that receive minimal rainfall. Plenty of testing, but no LIDAR-based AV has yet become operational anywhere there is significant precipitation. How long do we think it will take?

Operational will lag behind testing. But we've seen significant progress. We know from Waymo's videos that they are doing driverless in moderate rain in SF. They are also testing in heavier rain areas like Bellevue, WA and Orlando or Miami, FL. Back in December, Dolgov provided an update on handling rain:
When will robotaxis be operational in heavy rain cities? My guess is 1 year, maybe 2.

Wayve shared some clips showing their progress over the years.
Is that dot in Pennsylvania or West Virginia? I thought they were in NYC also?Map of operational and testing robotaxis in the US.

Pittsburgh. Carnegie Mellon did a lot of early AV work and spun out a few companies who may still test there. Uber also used to test there back in the day.

Do you literally have nothing else to contribute to the conversation?

You are making too much sense. You need to get with the Tesla program. Tesla does not need to get all those silly permits and follow regulations. Elon says Tesla will just train FSD until FSD is superhuman and then regulators will just accept it and let Tesla remove driver supervision. It will be that easy. LOL.

In many states you can launch a paid driverless service any time you feel you have a working one.
The only official state requirements in such places are for you to state you feel your system works and obeys all traffic laws, and to state you have insurance.
That's it.
Nobody checks- they just take your word for it.
California is NOT like that- but many other states are.

11 years.
Lots in Kalifornia, almost none in AZ.
Tesla is special. Didn't you hear -- they use neural nets!
Already did the math before
Waymo started from 2009 to 2019 = 11 years before they started official driverless service.
Tesla started working on autonomy in 2015 to now 2023 = 9 years, no driverless service yet
Tesla has 2 years (2025) to reach where Waymo was in 2019, to launch a fully autonomous taxi service without safety drivers somewhere in a 50 square mile radius. If they do it before 2025 that would mean they beat Waymo and everyone else assuming they all started at the same time. But really waymo did have to invent everything from scratch as they went while Tesla has the benefit of having all the knowledge google has shared with their research.

Does "across multiple domains" includes driverless?
