HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I did a test drive in a Tesla, back in the before times, and I was psyched to try out the self driving until I actually talked to the guy about it and put it into action. It was fucking terrifying. Basically what it seemed like, from talking to him and observing it, was that it was the lane-following feature that a lot of cars had even back then, but also, if it ran into anything more complex than lane following it would "do its best" but no promises.
I quickly disabled it (for whatever stupid reason, I had waited until we were on the interstate to try) and left the experience with absolutely no desire to have a Tesla even if it had been in the cards financially.
