The complaining is rote at this point in the stages of grieving: "that's was never considered 'intelligence' anyways!' The thing we now care (and always did) care about is whatever AI is currently NOT doing because we have souls, just not quite all those dummies at Church used to say!!"

Depends on "your idea" - was it exclusively yours, does it even constitute an "idea" by that point? I took a tour of Motorola and made a pre-service-launch phone call on Iridium in 1998. SatComms hasn't been an "idea" for many decades, it's a big area that advances with thousands of new ideas every year.

They hired some uninspired losers to lead their self-driving efforts. They basically were weak, looked into it and figured it's impossible.

There's nothing wrong with knowing your own limitations and acting accordingly. Had Mr. Zuckerberg had that sort of self-knowledge, he might have avoided lighting 80-billion-with-a-b dollars on fire and renaming his social media company after a technology that nobody wanted.

And human drivers are NOT, "on average, really bad".

That is true, but it's a little more complicated than that.

The average driver is pretty good, 99.9% of the time. The other 0.1% of the time, they are tired, or angry, or momentarily distracted, or just looking the other direction from where they need to be looking under those particular circumstances. It's those occasional blips of inattention that cause lead to most accidents occurring.
