How soon will autonomous transport reach commercial operation at meaningful scale?
Near-term deployment
Fully commercial autonomous operations could begin before the end of the year, with unsupervised service in London forecast for early next year.
Fully commercial operations before New Year's Eve is what I'll put out there as a marker. That's where I think they're going.
London anytime soon for every company not named Waymo? No. And I will say by Q1 of next year, Waymo will be operating fully autonomous, unsupervised service in London while Uber races to play catch up with their partner.

Longer road to scale
Meaningful scale will take time; operating data systems and staff in each market may make expansion too costly.
If you have to have a data stack or a data center and folks on the ground in each of those places to man and process the data in each one, you may never get to any of those markets because of the cost.
It's gonna be a while to that service gets to meaningful scale in either market.
