90% there? Perhaps a bit more.

A while to go.

You can trade time for money a bit and accelerate the timelines but you can't speed up things like a test where the vehicle spends six months on the road with no software support.

For example, to find out what happens when the owner doesn't update the software for six months because they've been busy or have sold their fleet to another operator who couldn't find the licence keys.

Or similar tests where elapsed time is important. How compromised is the autonomy if the LIDAR isn't calibrated for three or six or twelve months? Is the software able to optimise for reducing wear and tear over a two year period? What happens when the cars start going in to predominately British Asian neighbourhoods and 10% of the humans are wearing headresses and facial coverings - and you haven't recalibrated your LIDAR for six months or updated your software for three?

Possibly, possibly they will.

Probably still need to test that sort of thing out in some depth.
