Google has details on every public road that is paved and many that are not.

You need a hell of a lot more than that. You need to know how wide the road is at every point, the lane markings, potholes and if the road is currently open or closed for repairs, if there are cones in the road, etc.

I live in the Bay Area. We don't have inclement weather here.

Wow, the Bay Area doesn't have inclement weather? Who knew?

Compared to employing a human, Lidar is cheap, about $7500 per car.

The cars cost $1.5 million each. Not including insurance and maintenance costs.

IT guys are funny. They claim to know about tech stuff, but they don't really. They think the world is a computer game. Self driving cars are not going to be here any time soon. They will have "safety drivers" for the next 30 years. Techbros just keep hyping it because they want to keep the VC money rolling in, even though they know they are hitting a technological dead end.

For all Mankind is more Woke garbage. No one cared about shuttles to the moon. People cared about the Woke bullshit. I'm not surprised you pretend to like it, along with all the Rotten Tomatoes Wokesters. You guys are too predictable. I'm sure this new series will be the same. Eventually they will figure out that no one really watches this stuff and they will be forced to make something enjoyable for normal people.

Then there is the issue of the anti-vaxxer, Q-anon wingnut half of the US population but they can be dealt with by allowing nobody from the USA entry into your country that does not have a valid vaccine passport.

 
Only 36% of African Americans are vaccinated. Only 41% of Latino Americans are vaccinated. Are you suggesting they are Q-anon supporters? Why do you want to deny them entry? You sound racist, Freischutz. Probably German?

The younger generations have been conditioned to be frightened of life, even though life is easier and longer and more comfortable than it ever has been. The government likes the fear because then they can push the myth that they are going to "take care" of them and make the bad things go away. You see it a lot even in the older middle aged generations here on Slashdot. They want they government to step in and "take care" of problems. It is very apparent in the reaction to COVID: people place responsibility on it to the politicians. It is irrational, but many generations of conditioning has led us to this. Similar to the solution to "Climate Change". The solution always is bigger government, more taxes, more money.
