> Please note that Self-Driving functionality is dependent upon extensive software validation and regulatory approval, which may vary widely by jurisdiction. It is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available, as this is highly dependent on local regulatory approval.
I wonder what the current status is, both in terms of software validation, and regulatory approval.

- Matthias247 9y agoThe lists are interesting. And for me they are mostly telling that they are all in some super early prototyping phases. E.g. Tesla lists tests with < 600 miles with 4 cars in a year. Mercedes 670 miles with a single car. The only outlier which really seems to do serious testing is Waymo with 630k miles. To give some comparison numbers how normal series cars are tested at bigger automotive companies: There are test fleets of partly over 100 cars for a new car model, where some of those are tested all around the clock (> 600 miles per day). All in all often 2digit million kilometers.
- lern_too_spel 9y agoThe autonomous car services are going to launch in specific areas first, so they do not need to be tested in all the conditions that a Corolla would be tested in and can instead be tested in the launch markets. The key figure is miles per disengagement, and Tesla appears to be very far from having a viable autonomous car.
