Hah I've done that too! Freaked my one friend out when I revealed the car had been driving itself for over ten minutes, he didn't believe me at first. Changed his mind big time on Tesla's once he had a ride in my MY, he was blown away. Most people I've taken for rides have walked away feeling the same.

For me it's become routine, but for everyone else who rides in the car for the first time it's like a shift in reality.
They are so far ahead of everyone else considering their vertical integration, there is almost no second place in the rearview. I feel like once it is accepted, Tesla will become synonymous with self-driving. So much that it will become like the IBM of computers or the Nintendo of game systems.
At some point (5-10 years from now), all other OEMs will come to the realization that Tesla's lead is so substantial and the investment to "catch up" is so enormous that FSD licensing will become the norm. Just like all North America EVs will use Tesla's NACS plugs, they will license FSD because if they don't they will be looked at as dinosaurs. At that point, Tesla will have unprecedented margins, and make money on cars they don't manufacture... very similar to Microsoft and PC manufacturers, all of the margin was in the software.

Think of all the pasta they can enjoy now they don't need to waste time focusing on the road.

It's funny because its not so impressive to me as I'm used to FSD performing great. Like I just expect that level of performance from it as its been that good for a long time now.
But yeah to someone not familiar with Tesla FSD I can see how it could be surprising.

This man still trying to drive into a ditch on snow covered roads for science. He's lucky he didn't have anybody going by behind him when he tried to drive up the hill himself on summer tiers and slid back down it backwards

Looks like other people are figuring out the secret to a successful self-driving car project is to not use LIDAR
8 cameras, vision-only system

I can't imagine ever giving up driving to a machine. You can tear my steering wheel out of my cold dead hand. There are few things in the world as amazing as driving a vehicle.
Don't get me wrong, it's impressive tech. I could never give up my driving though.

Once I can lay down in the back seat and take a nap or play a game etc I am all over this.

I agree with the vision-only approach for driving but will they ever provide radar/lidar so I can integrate them with my weapons systems? It's not always about dodging road debris, it's about making road debris.
"The decision ends a four-year long case remarkable not just in its outcome but that it even made it to trial. Many similar cases against Tesla have been dismissed and, when that didn't happen, settled by the company to avoid the spotlight of a trial.
"This will open the floodgates," said Miguel Custodio, a car crash lawyer not involved in the Tesla case. "It will embolden a lot of people to come to court."
The case also included startling charges by lawyers for the family of the deceased, 22-year-old, Naibel Benavides Leon, and for her injured boyfriend, Dillon Angulo. They claimed Tesla either hid or lost key evidence, including data and video recorded seconds before the accident. Tesla said it made a mistake after being shown the evidence and honestly hadn't thought it was there.
"We finally learned what happened that night, that the car was actually defective," said Benavides' sister, Neima Benavides. "Justice was achieved.""
Two other cases Tesla settled out of of court, one a 15 year old boy who died when model 3 crashed into the back of the car his dad was driving, and another where two died when a model s ran a red light and hit their car.

They get covered in road salt and grime and then FSD is disabled until you pull over and clean the side and rear sensors off yourself....
