I want a self-driving car. I'd love to never have to steer a car myself again.

I'd need to be very impressed by the technology to go along with not having a fallback steering wheel for edge cases, but I would absolutely want a car that could just do my normal city driving for me without me needing to engage with it.

I'd particularly like it if I could get such a car for my teenage child. Because let's face it -- you don't have to be that good as a self-driving system to be better than the average new teen driver.

Yup. I hate driving. FSD is conceptually cool. But I'll keep driving myself, thank you.

Because I write software. I know not to trust software. (Or humans.)

When every vehicle FSD, and our infrastructure was designed for FSD, I'd be first in line.

I want a car I can tell to go to the shop for service or call from the airport to come pick me up.

However, call me a stick in the mud, but if I'm in the car, I'm gonna be driving.

A car where I can fold down the seat and take a nap or watch a movie while it drives me to my destination, who wouldn't want that?

It's not about the final outcome(which is hard to argue with, obviously everyone would want that), but I understand the sentiment in that I actively don't want a car equipped with all the tech necessary to enable self driving - because it's going to be extremely complicated and costly, not to mention a whole range of privacy concerns that I'm sure a lot of people here share. If we're talking about some ideal imaginary car that's 20k euro and can do self driving with all processing done locally with nothing uploaded to the manufacturer - sure, who wouldn't want that? But we all know it's not at all what the tech is going to be, not for a very very long time, if ever.

I actually completely agree with that. Self driving level 1 is useful, and self driving level 5 will be amazing (if we ever get it). Self driving level 2-4 I'm rather uninterested in.
