[On Waymo's apparent fumbling and bumbling.] I regard Alphabet to be well run and top notch on execution with most of its efforts. They are not perfect of course, but who is. Waymo management developments are a bit disappointing and troubling.

I am not an expert in this space, but it seems that Waymo and Tesla have the largest leads.

One thought is that Waymo has gone as far as it can within GOOG and spinning it out to an IPO is the best way to get it focused management and accelerate its growth path. [Concept: Do we focus on the trivial many projects or the vital few projects.]

I hope that Sundar and Ruth Porat are considering this Waymo focus now! It would be foolish to waste time on this opportunity for Waymo.

Thoughts?

I reckon the name simply refers to the fact that the Doomguy never speaks rather than the Alien tagline.

Although there is no nostalgia aspect, Doom 2016 does the series justice and is worth recommending.
