SAE level 2 driver assistance is explicitly not autonomous driving.

It's this kind of dynamic that makes me pull back on my otherwise pretty AI-forward stance. There's an entire community of people who passionately believe it's obvious and undeniable that Elon Musk has solved problems that he has not solved and his companies deliver things they don't deliver. Tesla is absolutely unambiguous in their marketing material (https://www.tesla.com/fsd) that they do not have autonomous driving, but you're far from the first person I've encountered who's been tricked into believing otherwise.

I don't think that's my relationship with AI, I'm hardly an uncritical booster. But would I know if it was?

Gonna need a citation for that, buck.

Seems not solved:

Hope daddy sees this and gives you that lollipop.

Huh? They did not "solve" vision based driving.
