Is it? Tesla is still alive because they're selling cars.
It's just that the companies that are NOT doing incremental approaches are largely at the mercy of some investors who don't know a thing about self-driving, and they may die at any time.
I agree with you that it is technically flawed, but it may still be viable in the end. At least their existence is not dependent on the mercy of some fools who don't get it, they just sell cars to stay alive.
That's one of the major problems of today's version of capitalism -- it encourages technically flawed ways to achieve scientific advancement.
Would be interesting to know how many buy based on the fsd hype(including the ones who don't pay for the package) and how many buy because of the "green" factor.
However many there are who buy because of the fsd promise, all that revenue is coming from vaporware (beta ware at best) and is possible due to lack of regulatory enforcement.
History shows that the longer the self regulatory entities take the p, the harder the regulatory hammer comes down eventually.
