Unfortunately anyone out of Google is not ambitious enough. They can't execute. Tiny steps don't accomplish anything.



.. tiny steps don't accomplish anything? Do you think tech innovations spring out of nowhere? What do you think about Waymo?


Slow R&D is fine for innovation for sure, Waymo mostly completed the R&D part, similar to the stage I presume Taara is at. The difficult part is then scaling it up into a large self-sustaining business. The hard economics realities tend to come about quickly after that and competition starts nipping at your heels.

Google itself replaced many of the early big name search pioneers like Altavista.
