I’ve read that Tesla has claimed to have reliable self-driving for years but owners still waiting?

Meh. My last three cars can do much of the work for me and they're not Tesla.

Just bear in mind, at one point it was believed that humans would never fly and that going faster than 15mph it was impossible for us to breath.

We're surrounded by automation at levels MOST people are unaware of because they're not actively involved with the implementation and utilization. I happen to work in manufacturing and go to factories all over the world. Even in places like China, they're now moving towards high levels of automation vs throwing more people at the problems.

The biggest change has been the rapid drop in cost to develop and implement automated solutions broadly, such that the this technology is intersecting with our normal lives. Nearly anybody with time and will can build an automated drone these days.

Different tools for different tasks, right? Drones can do certain tasks. Not fully autonomous from what I read. So e.g. Russia brought in DPRK human troops for other tasks.
