Not that it justified overhyping or undercaution by Tesla, but lets be real: everyday driving comes down to that same acceptance of risk Let's not be perfect

Not that it justified overhyping or undercaution by Tesla, but lets be real: everyday driving comes down to that same acceptance of risk Let's not be perfect be the enemy of the good: a self-driving highway system can probably be achieved with current technology that beats human drivers for long distances. I wish that was the priority rather than the robotaxi obsession. Self-driving highway systems would produce immediate profit and economic savings that could fund the drive-grandma-to-Taco-Bell systems, as well as the convergent infrastructure, common signaling systems, embedded sensors, better signage and standards, improved and predictable construction signals and routing, etc. Following the usual hype cycle, it will be highway logistics that smooths over the "despair" portion and does the practical incremental improvement.
