Correction: anyone selling you "self driving" is lying to you.

We're at least a decade away from it... (and yes, I've seen the current batch of FSD videos).

The only one literally selling it, is Mercedes. What is wrong with it? Don’t you consider it „self driving“?

I think you may be over-indexing on the word "selling". I didn't mean it literally as in for sale to you (the customer) directly. That is what Tesla FSD is claiming and I agree with you that we're some indeterminate amount of time away from it.

However Waymo, Cruise and others do exist. If you haven't already, check out JJRicks videos on YouTube. I think you might be changing the number of years in your estimation ;)

Each time I see functional FSD it is in a very specific and limited scope. Simple thing that ultra precise maps, low speed, good roads, suitable climate, and a system that can just bail and stop the car are common themes. I would also be interested to hear if places with waymo have traffic rules where pedestrians/cyclists have priority without relying on traffic signs.
