To be fair, it still felt like magic. My car would drive me 20 miles without me really having to do anything, other than make sure it didn't kill me at an interchange.

And I'm now trying to remember, but I think autopilot was initially free (or at least was included with every car I looked at, so it didn't seem like an extra fee). Auotpilot is now standard on all Teslas, but FSD is an extra $10k, which IMO is a joke.

Humans are ridiculously bad at overseeing something that mostly works. That’s why it is insanely more dangerous.

Also, the problem is “easy” for the general case, but the edge cases are almost singularity-requiring. The former is robot vacuum level, the latter is out of our reach for now.

I bet it felt magic, but if my car would actively try to kill me, it would go back to the dealer ASAP.

I'm not paying with money and my life to be a corporation's guinea pig.
