It's another kind of space race, so we all "win" in the end. https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-2030-self-driving-car-bet/
@codinghorror I think you will win but fairly narrowly - e. g. Chicago doesn't fulfill the criteria because of winter weather, or there are still remote operators (the strict interpretation of level 5 would exclude those I think)
I assume you want attract attention to the progress in America specifically, but I will note that there are probably more driverless rides taken, in more cities, in China; this is more a question of regulations and the will to implement than basic science / technology.
