I wouldn't call a car with a driver "a self driving car".

Waymo have already started testing cars with no backup drivers. They’re years ahead of the competition, even GM are 2-3 years behind Waymo, and Uber is probably more years behind them.

As expected, turns out that cars without a driver are remotely monitored.

At this point in time there are no driverless cars.

Yeah the article has "...is now starting to test cars in Phoenix with no backup safety driver behind the wheel, something the Jacksons have experienced just once."
