Correction: anyone selling you "self driving" is lying to you.

We're at least a decade away from it... (and yes, I've seen the current batch of FSD videos).

I think you may be over-indexing on the word "selling". I didn't mean it literally as in for sale to you (the customer) directly. That is what Tesla FSD is claiming and I agree with you that we're some indeterminate amount of time away from it.

However Waymo, Cruise and others do exist. If you haven't already, check out JJRicks videos on YouTube. I think you might be changing the number of years in your estimation ;)

Each time I see functional FSD it is in a very specific and limited scope. Simple thing that ultra precise maps, low speed, good roads, suitable climate, and a system that can just bail and stop the car are common themes. I would also be interested to hear if places with waymo have traffic rules where pedestrians/cyclists have priority without relying on traffic signs.

The only one literally selling it, is Mercedes. What is wrong with it? Don’t you consider it „self driving“?
