No one but Tesla has point to point autonomous driving in a consumer car.

It’s a parlor trick, having experienced “FSD” myself as a Tesla owner (as well as tens of thousands of miles of enhanced autopilot in a legacy Model S across the continental US). I’m safer in a Waymo, because they know how to actually build an autonomous vehicle. I’ll put my kids in a Waymo, I do not allow FSD to be active in my Teslas. It’s just theater to juice Tesla enterprise value, not a human safe autonomy system.

I don’t need to be able to own it, I need it to work and be safe. Let those who use FSD own the consequences of system failure. They’ll learn eventually. You’re never going to talk cultists out of their cult of personality, imho.
