Reading this comment is like listening to Tesla in 2014 tell me about how their cars will be driving themselves. Give it 10 years.

Tesla might not have managed to do it, but Waymo had over 7.1 million miles driven by their driverless cars by 2023: https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/20/24006712/waymo-driverless-million-mile-safety-compare-human https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/20/24006712/waymo-driverles... I'm still waiting for the future where a robot maid does my dishes, hangs my clothes, tidies and vacuums my apartment while I'm working on my piano skills. But at least I now have a robot vacuum with a camera that avoids whatever toys I forgot to pick up.

It might not be perfect yet but my huble Model 3 drove me to a doctor appointment all by itself from my driveway last week. I would say it's pretty damn impressive the kind of progress they were able to make.

Tesla gave out free trials of their self driving upgrade this month. I didn't buy it initially because of the grandiose claims that never seemed to materialize, but I've actually been pretty impressed with the trial. I still don't think it's worth it, but my Model Y has driven itself (with my close supervision of course) to a number of destinations I've keyed into the navigation, without me having to intervene. There's also lots of times I have had to intervene, but we're closer than we are far, at this point, I think. So I think your take here is a bit outdated. It was good a couple years ago, though.

  Let me guess, you're in the US along one of the hardcoded routes?

    I'm in the US, yes. But I feel like my small Indiana town is always behind the times, so I'd be surprised if anything about it was hardcoded for me.
