Oh, that was fascinating. I've never seen Tesla Autopilot in action before. It's ... really, really underwhelming. I wouldn't ever take my hands off the wheel.

I've seen plenty of discussions about how limited it is and I'm quite aware that it's far from any sort of self-driving solution. It's not like discussions about it are rare on HN. But still, seeing it is much much much more different from observing discussions about it.
