Underwhelming if you had inflated expectations based on a misconstrued idea of what it is.

It’s pretty good on freeways. It was never intended for small streets.

And yes you’re supposed to keep your hands on the wheel.

I had nothing except Elon's PR to go on. Well, I didn't really have any expectations. I don't spend my days thinking "Oh, Tesla Autopilot's such an amazing self-driving function". I've seen plenty of discussions about how limited it is and I'm quite aware that it's far from any sort of self-driving solution. It's not like discussions about it are rare on HN. But still, seeing it is much much much more different from observing discussions about it.

And experiencing it is much much much more different from seeing a video of some cherry picked road segments.
