Worse yet, the AP beta many customers are testing now is explicitly billed as "full self-driving". Which it isn't. For people who assume the AP is some breakthrough in self driving tech, it doesn't feel too different fro

As I like to point out to people when they quote this self driving statistic, student drivers have the best driving record out there. No fines, no accidents. Yet nobody would ever confuse a student driver for a good driver even if they are
