As a Tesla owner (who don't like tesla, don't like musk, and would sell my car the second I would change occupation and not have to work at industries located in no-man's land), the fact they can advertise their piece of shit system as self driving autopilot is insane to me. What's even worse is it relies on cameras that constantly get blinded by direct sunlight and covered in dust/snow/mud/whatever.
I feel embarrassed by driving one, but here in Sweden I couldn't afford any other electrical vehicle that could go as far as I needed to, so I had to choose the lesser of two evils. Too bad so many people gobble up what musk says and acts like the cars are actually self driving, and have to show off the acceleration at every stop light endangering themselves and others around them.
