The War on Drugs was a failure.
The War on Terror was a failure.

Putting them together is the foreign policy equivalent of Penn Central.

Almost half the Waymos on California streets are driving around empty. They're either waiting for the next customer or en route for a pickup.

If robotaxis scale, anything close to that level of deadheading would create crushing gridlock.

If you ask people what kind of car they want, a lot of people will tell you they want a really expensive car they could never afford.

If you ask them what car they would buy if their current one died, you'll get a different answer.
You can't ask people what they want without attaching prices to it and act like you have useful data.
