>To be fair, being enthusiastic and positive about the future isn't that useful of a comment. .... but there are countless, interesting, ways to point out how it might fail
Sure, but there is more than one way to say it:
"I live in the mountains of Virginia and this will never work here with the snow, therefore it's crap, therefore it will fail!!!!"
OR
"It's going to be really hard for them to solve the problem of heavy snow. I wonder if they'll use <something interesting we can all learn about> or <something else>. I wonder if they've teamed up with <who knows> to research <something interesting>. I think the best approach would be x,y,z and I read the Google are using a,b,c".
etc.
I mean, we're talking about a multi-billon dollar company trying to push forward - OF COURSE there are tons of hard parts. Pointing them out it not useful - thinking about (and working on) how to solve them is what HN should be about.
