It might begin very soon

What happens when the road isn't where it is supposed to be? Like in a construction zone where the road was moved over a few feet. I know. The car runs into the guard rail. Seen it happen.

Automated vehicles don't blindly follow a pre-mapped route down to the foot, they have cameras, radar and lidar to help them see.

Might want to tell that to Telsa. I saw what happens when in a construction zone where the barrier is moved over 2 feet. Telsa upside down.

Well, Tesla has a level 2 system so if a driver let it drive into a barrier the driver is at fault. A Tesla full self drive system will do exactly that, self drive with human supervision. Having said that it will make some limited efforts to avoid obstacles etc. From experience I can tell you it does not avoid pot holes. Again, level 2, pay attention and follow the direction for its use. It’s a very nice drivers aid.

Autopilot without FSD is a lane keeping feature, similar to Propilot etc. It may be wrong but I don’t think it even stops at stop lights and stop signs. Not sure, we have the FSD suite so not a 100 percent sure what autopilot does and doesn’t do. I know I let it make all my lane changes as it’s better at checking blind spots than me...although I check anyway.

The new FSD beta is supposed to be amazing, but so far only about a thousand test cars have it. Rumour has it by summer the rest of us will have it.
