I don't know how to tell you this but there's no such thing as a car that can drive itself.

Waymo is still developing the technology, they can only go 5000 miles on average without the need for human intervention. They're getting close, but they don't exist yet.

Maybe some day they'll even be able to drive 5000 different miles instead of driving the same 5 miles 1000 times.

I don't know how to tell you this, but go to Japan and be proven spectacularly wrong. Or... go to SFO and see the air train that's driverless too?
