> I think we are still a long way off from business viability, but a very short way off from POC (proof of concept) demos that show its potential. Kind of like self driving cars in the 2017 hype.
We still don't have self driving cars, right? Except maybe for a few labs, suburbs, and highways.
Yes we do. They exist and are on the road. Just look at Tesla, Waymo, etc. These cars are able to be given a destination and they will drive themselves there. There are limitations, but that doesn't make them not self driving.
If you don't set a definition for "limitation", self driving cars existed long before Tesla and Waymo, in niche pockets of the world. But if you set the definition of self driving car as what you would expect in a sci-fi novel, we're not there yet. But we're actually really close - I'd bet in 3 years Waymo is makes them a reality in day to day life.
