The STS reading I was doing before my PhD program kept me from biting on it otherwise I probably would have. I hate drivers too, but I was learning that complex tech systems, like our roads, are complex social networks of humans and non-humans. Replicating the human role in that was going to be very hard, and some prior attempts had already failed along cybernetics lines.
Musk's awful decision to pull LIDAR was the final straw. I went from "I dunno" to "this will absolutely fail."
