“but they are to the point that you can just let go of the wheel for long periods of time and let the car do it, and it can handle most stuff...That IS a self driving car.”
From Tesla’s web site:
“Tesla requires drivers to remain engaged and aware when Autosteer is enabled. Drivers must keep their hands on the steering wheel.”
Swing and a miss.
Fine, touch but don’t use. You’re not driving the car. The car is driving itself. All the quibbling on specific words doesn’t change the fact that what you insist can never happen is happening right now on America’s roads. Cars are RIGHT NOW AT THIS MINUTE driving themselves.
