Yep. Finding a 90% correlation means the car gets very good at localizing its exact location. Plus, who's to say the Waymo cars won't someday be able to update the map?

Well, I guess since I see so many people with Beats headphones, those must be good. Is that how the line of thinking goes?

Continuously? Unless you're traveling at the same speed across the ground in the same direction, it won't be continuously. It's a wave - it moves past you.

Mine isn't - and I didn't go bottom of the line either.
