Sure seems to me having to be hyper-vigilant to prevent it from driving down some lightrail tracks or getting it going after it decides to wait behind a parked car is more than "All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go."

>All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go.

Its a promise about the future. Read the last paragraph:

>The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."

Beside, from the video, I don't see the need to be "hyper-vigilant", yes you do need to pay attention, which is recommend by tesla, but far from being hyper-vigilant.

Which they haven’t yet delivered on, so the car doesn’t have full self driving.

> yes you do need to pay attention

Part of their promise is that it’ll drive off and park itself. Can’t really pay attention when you’re not in it.
