self driving sooner than we think!
Interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8PR5wKT9VA&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0zI4Duqb5UVoemMm7-sLCUC803RjN2bIaSYx593zKZhQM9JZTRejRKRkI

Teslas are not self driving.
As with a lot of new cars, some driving functions can be taken over by the car but self driving isn't available on any production car.
It will come eventually but it's more likely to continue to be an evolutionary process where the easiest functions are incorporated first with the driver there to handle the more difficult functions.
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Assist
- Curve Speed Limiter
- Traction Control
- Low Speed Self Parking
These are all functions that the car can do now.
I could see in 10yrs they reach the point where it becomes an honest question if they should skip the steering wheel...really, they could have a removable stalk now where you put a tablet and use that to control the car in a kind of limp mode if you really need direct control.
PS: As much fun as a sci-fi world with self driving cars sounds, it's a huge potential money saver. You can safely draft 10ft behind another car, crashes (and associated repair bills and injury bills) will drop like a rock. Lots of things we don't even know yet.
