Some People here said it couldn’t be done but here we are in 2020.

From social media.

‘Beware this system might steer you into an oncoming truck, make sure you pay attention and it’s not our fault if you crash. Enjoy.’

The counterpoint is that the same could be read out to an 80 year old pensioner at the wheel of his/her 20 year old Nissan Micra as the ignition key is turned.

Here we are, 4 months later and its still nowhere.

I would suggest to the OP that the people who said it wasn't coming soon were absolutely right.

Don't like to say "some of us told you so", but "some of us told you so". Spend more than a year or so following Tesla and you get used to the pattern of behaviour

Some of us are watching the weekly uploads from this guy on his real-world experiences with the self-driving software which is running live on his Tesla:

There will be people on PH that want the project to fail but the evidence suggests that even in its current state, for people with disabilities or physical impairments it is a game changer and could be a life changer.

For those that want to tick the boxes for total autonomous 100% wont-fail-under-any-situation air-traffic control software infallibility will need to wait longer, i do accept that.

There is some level 4 news here from Daimler in the context of trucks and logistics:

It will say it can take you on your journey for you for a certain price, say I want to drive to York, it will offer to self drive for £X. I'd hope if it fails you don't get charged.

Let me get this right, I have to buy a car then pay extra for it to drive me to where I want to go?

You are crackers if you think this will catch on.

As posted previously, PH company director wearing AlpineStars and gloves to drive a manual-box straight six won’t see the benefits. there are, at least, one million people in the u.k. alone that are physically and/or mentally impaired that for them, even a level 2 or 3 system would give them the freedom that they don’t currently have because driving car is possible but takes significantly more effort to make it only viable in specific cases.

If the system works anywhere near as good as the real world day-in-the-life videos being shared, outside of the PH bubble, the system will sell by the bucket load. Grumpy luddites on PH need not apply.
