I'd invite you to spend $70k on a car, engage self driving, and tie your hands behind your back.
The reality is, yes, they can kinda drive. Sometimes they drive well enough to lull you into a false sense of security for long enough you trust it, just before it tries to kill you. Driving isn't all that hard, we teach 14 year olds how to do it. Driving in a safe, predictable manner and being able to handle all edge cases(which are really infinite) for billions of miles is not easy. It's very hard without a thinking reasoning brain. FSD is trained on user driving data, which helps it drive more naturally, but also means it can only learn; 1) from situations other drivers encounter and 2) from those situations which are then set aside and labeled and fed into the model. When it encounters something it doesn't recognize(and it's flagged), that then gets fed back into the model, so the model learns one more thing. But because edge cases are infinite and the model can't reason, well...that's where it starts to become impossible(using their current setup).
Currently they are no good if the cameras are dirty. They also can't do things like read road signs, or even stop for a school bus. They are a looooong way from existing as Musk claims, just as they were 8 years ago when he was wrong then, too.
