It may not have been easy to see that another breakthrough is required, but it was very easy to see that most predictions were laughable. The CEO of Waymo announced[1] in May 2018: > Phoenix will be the first stop for Waymo's driverless transportation service, which is launching later this year. Soon, everyone will be able to call Waymo, using our app, and a fully self-driving car will pull up--with no one in the driver's seat-- to whisk them away to their destination. And that's just the beginning! [1] [VIDEO]

It's not really that much easier, but their new AI let's you type certain common responses like "Thank you, I'll look at this" in an instant. They made a presentation about this. [VIDEO]

Yup I believe they announced this at Google I/O Keynote this year actually -- they mentioned that while it might not be enough with just the audio, looking at mouth gestures can give AI enough to know what might be said by whom. [VIDEO]
