Dude, where’s my self-driving car? The many, many missed deadlines for a fully autonomous vehicular future. (www.theverge.com)

I bought a Tesla in early 2020 and after four years I can say confidently that autonomous driving seems unlikely. The self driving feature feels like I'm in the car with my geriatric grandpa. It drives like a stoned teenager trying to protect the liability of his rich daddy.

The reason that humans are able to drive swiftly and efficiently is because we're not thinking about every single thing that could go wrong at every single moment. The car is incapable of such blissful ignorance and therefore the autonomous driving experience is uncomfortable, to say the least.

Haha I like to say it feels like driving with a 15 year old who just got their learner's permit.
