I have taken lots of rides in Waymo, and it has always been smooth. So it is possible. The problem with Tesla is that its CEO lays down dogmatic rules, such as humans only need eyes to drive, so his cars will only have cameras, no LiDAR. He needs to accept that robot cars cannot drive the way humans do. Robot cars can drive better than humans, but they have to do it in their own way.

But I won't trust FSD on my own car (LIDAR or no LIDAR), except in certain circumstances like highway driving, because if something did happen, I'd be at fault even if it was the FSD that failed.

Drive Pilot is not FSD yet, but presumably as it acquires more capabilities Mercedes will continue their policy of accepting liability.
