Pity that you ignored the actual substance of my post, so I’ll repeat it here: > That’s how Teslas have been described – “a computer with wheels”. And this is precisely what I strenuously object to. To be clear, I’d love to have a car where I can just get into it and say “take me to destination ‘x’” and it will do it flawlessly, and then park itself and wait for me. > > But that’s not what we have today. We have cars that make half-assed attempts to do things for us that are sometimes badly flawed and downright counterproductive and unsafe, like the dangerous pretense of full self-driving that is anything but. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/teslas-really-are-not-great-cars/1016339)._
