I've been riding Waymo for years in San Francisco.
10 years ago, people were predicting that deep learning will change everything. And it did.
Why just use one example (VR) and apply it to everything? Even then, a good portion of people did not think VR would be everywhere by now.
Baidu Apollo Go is conpletes millions of rides a year as well, with expansions into Europe in the Middle East. In China they've been active for a long time - during COVID they were making autonomous deliveries.
It is odd how many people don't realize how developed self-driving taxis are.
And outside of a few major cities with relatively good weather, self driving is non existent

Fully autonomous in select defined cities owned by big corps is probably a reasonable expectation.
Fully autonomous in the hands of an owner applied to all driving conditions and working reliably is likely still a distant goal.
