I can't get the Rolling Stones' lamenting yet confident lyrics to “Time Is on My Side,” out of my head when thinking about once-promising Argo AI folding in November (the announcement came just after this magazine's previous issue went to press). In the end, time wasn't on Argo's side.

Some say that Argo is the high-profile canary in the coal mine that proves SAE Level 4 driving, at least for personal vehicles, is a fool's pursuit. Others claim Argo's demise merely demonstrates that AV-industry consolidation was, and remains, inevitable.
