It's fascinating to watch this technology develop, but as a driver I usually feel more anxious using "autopilot" that not using it.

With one huge exception: self parallel-parking.

I don't understand why this innovation doesn't get more love. Tesla's not the only manufacturer to offer this, of course, but this particular innovation has increased m enjoyment of city driving more than ... well, more than anything I can think of.

Even if they never get anything else to work, it would have been worth it just for self parallel-parking. lol

From an engineering perspective, of course there are serious problems that need attention, but sometimes it also good to celebrate the wins.

It's been in the Prius since 2003.

I agree. It's really nice to have the radar say "Yes, that space is big enough." and then put the car into it.
