> These Waymo cars cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Any source on that claim? I thought they reduced the costs of lidar to be in the order of a few k.

Waymo claims they will cost somewhere in the 150k range.

Sounds like the Jaguar (without the waymo tech) is a large chunk of that 150k.

Those Jags start at $40k, to regular people. No doubt cheaper if you buy hundreds at a time. So the self driving tech is $100k+.

From checking now it seems like the base price for consumers is 70k.

But regardless, I think even 100k is still quite different than "hundreds of thousands".
