As an example: Tesla has promised unsupervised self-driving for its cars for the last 10 years. Every year the promise is "it will be here soon", and yet this year we found out that the promises from 2019 are never going to materialize because the hardware isn't enough [1].
That's not to say that electric vehicles are going to go away, nor that supervised self-driving isn't useful. But it does mean that there are some things that the technology just can't do and that constantly arguing "the next version will fix it" without any evidence is not productive.
Nah, it's useful but needs to be treated with suspicion due to persistent issues. Very persistent so far, not fixed or even improved much by new models, which is my point.
