But not every one of those 100 cars are encountering the exact same situations. Even if they are using the exact same code, the fact is that one car can't be in 100 places at the same time, and is incapable of causing 100 accidents at once. So if you really want to compare apples to apples, you'd compare 100 cars piloted by Waymo to to 100 cars piloted by meatbags.

Computer science is heavily grounded in programming theory, which is a good thing: a competent graduate should be able to take their Pascal/Java/whatever skills and easily pivot to whatever language is being used at their job. There is no language you "should" learn unless you know a priori what language you will be using at work.

If your college is teaching LanguageX but you know for a fact that your future job will be using LanguageY, nobody is stopping you from studying LanguageY in your spare time. In fact, you should probably take electives in that language and/or find other ways to study it. There are too many languages and technologies in use today for colleges to be able to cover them all, or even the "latest" ones. If you really want to make big bucks, study COBOL: it's in high demand simply because nobody wants to learn it.
