It is embarrassing to have released cars year after year with fundamental problems that have not been fixed, year after year. Or, it should be. American carmakers really should be embarrassed.
We do not know if next year's car will actually be notably, or even any, better than this year's. The article says they hope so, but obviously nobody knows. Probably there will be fewer of a class of bugs in the new code, but there might also be radically less code implementing needed features. We can only wait and see.
What do you mean by “fundamental problems.” I’m using chrome right now, it works great, and there’s no better browser.
I assure you they’re not embarrassed they didn’t write it in rust from the beginning and they’re not embarrassed to have written the best and most successful browser there is.
They are so very "not embarrassed" that they are embarking on a massive change in how they operate. Or, claim to be; we will need to wait and see if it really happens, and then, if it does happen, if it has any desirable outcome.
We can anyway be certain Google does not need unpaid help defending them.
