Regardless, I read all of these comments with people lobbing their opinions about how inferior FSD is when I suspect they have never experienced it first hand or they experienced it on much older versions of software that are nowhere near where things are currently. I’d go so far to offer to take anyone out for a rip for no other reason than to give them a real life experience of the currently available software. It’s truly amazing, and if it wasn’t then Tesla would not be putting driverless cars out on the roads in Austin like they are right now. Autonomous ride share is going to transform transportation as we know it, and it is happening right before our very eyes in real time.

Yes, who cares about stats and data, that's a nonsense thing to form an opinion from. Anecdotes rule. There's a reason I wasn't basing my opinion around non-critical disengagements, as you say. And if it was good enough today, why did they delay the launch "10 days" to make sure it is safe? Not for app booking reasons or other easily solvable problems, but the .9999's that are the hardest to reach. You can take Musk at his word, but, well..
As for the transformation, first, Waymo is already doing it and has for years, so Tesla isn't some magical company that does what no one else can. Arguably they are now late to the party. Second, what's going to be so different? You will still order a car through your phone, never have to talk to the driver, and get out seamlessly. Not having a human in the seat isn't transformational.
And if you are talking about people "sharing" their Teslas as Musk has been promising for 6 years, well...

That's going to be about as much ride sharing as Uber turned out to be. Very few will share out their own personal car, for all the obvious reasons everyone can imagine. Sure, people will hustle the system and buy a few Teslas in an attempt to make money before they realize they break even and Tesla takes all the real profits for themselves.
I'm not against self driving vehicles, I am against how Tesla has tried to do it, and I understand the reality of the challenges, such that every time he says "coming in two weeks" it's pretty obvious it is not. One day I'll eventually be wrong, but I have a perfect track record so far thanks to Elon.
And even if it's driving you everywhere, it will forever be a Swasticar that funded the destruction of America. Very popular in Russia.
