I recently watched a snazzy labs video of him trying or Tesla's most recent full self driving and finding that it could get stuck in infinite decision loops that required the user to take control - namely circular parking lots.

I can't wait until this becomes a game for riders, requesting drop offs at locations that force these things into loops after disembarking. With no starting wheel, and at that point no driver, getting to the next pickup could take a while.
