It's fascinating seeing all the comments elsewhere anytime Waymo starts testing in another city along the lines of, "ah, but how will they handle X, Y, and Z here?? Checkmate, robots!" despite having already launched service in several other cities.

Granted, NYC is the biggest city in the US, so maybe that sort of reaction is more reasonable there than when people in Dallas or Boston do it.

I don't think they've really launched anywhere challenging yet though. Nothing like London for example, and that's probably middle of the scale.

Obviously starting in the easy places is the right move, but I don't think you can dismiss the comments like that.
