    I hate seeing these cars on the road as I drive to work with a normal car that does all of this stuff as a basic feature but doesn’t have a cult of personality CEO promising bullshit attached to it.

    A modern sedan has all of this in play. But the companies that offer these features are very careful to explain that what they offer isn’t a robot that drives for you.

    But magical mystery tour Mars commune snake oil diamond mine scion promises a robot car!

    I just don’t get it.

    There are tons of cars our there that are better positioned to deliver a assisted driving experience that is better than these Teslas.

    I love my Honda even though it has connectivity issues. But damn if it won’t see myself in a situation where just driving my car winds up whare I smash me into a tree and burn me up.

    I understand as a driver that at some point all of this bullshit won’t help me.

    In the end it’s do you know how to drive.
