I guess they have the lead in the sense that you can drive to a Tesla dealership today and buy a car that will kind of sort of drive you home. That's something!

Just don't take 101 S bound near the 85 S on ramp on your way home and you might live to do it again

Big deal. You can do this in a Honda Fit for crying out loud.

You can, yes, but marketing is very much a thing. The average person knows Tesla has self driving (to whatever extent), but not everyone knows a Honda Fit can drive itself. I sure didn’t.

Isnt it amazing we need billions of dollars of investment in AI for that. If they could have continued with knobs instead of touch screen.

Nissan Leaf, too. It's not great, but is good enough that I'm not scared to look away for a moment to change stations.
