nevermind all this. i agree with it, but it's irrelevant.

this is like discussing what will happen when we have UBI or teleporters or mars habitation. It's so far in the future it's funny.

As mentioned elsewhere, there is no such thing as a self-driving car. Waymo just removed the ability for their cars to go on freeways recently. There's no Teslas for rent within 50 miles of my house.

My friend just got a 2026 tesla and he has to take over to stop it from using the wrong lanes on freeways, or going straight in a turn lane.

My wife's driver assist in the subaru tries to kill me every time i use it, me and everyone in the car with me. so i shut it off. maybe there's been an OTA update that fixed it, who knows. All i know is there's a massive class action just waiting against subaru, once their eyesore system kills enough people.

There is no self-driving car, such that, right now, i could order one, and it would show up at my house.

we are 40 years from a fully autonomous, self-driving and self navigating car. and that's being conservative. We'll probably get some intermediate "partial self driving" like we have now with addons like "pre-planned routes" like I-10 or whatever.

My friend drives in Los Angeles with his tesla. I live in Louisiana.

There's no self driving.

we've corrected, conservative 40 years but probably 20 years (2046) there will be a plurality of agreement that fully autonomous driving has arrived, and in the general sense, not just "certain parts of Frisco and the Valley."

my friend may just be hoping he gets to see it, 40 years is a long time for him. me too, but i might see it.
