I mean honestly I'm not even mad that a self-driving car isn't taking the freeway. It's pretty scary that Tesla is considering and is actually taking people on the freeway but I understand that their requirements are that they have to have a driver behind the seat which really doesn't make the car self-driving.
The person being behind the seat doesn’t make it not self driving, it just means that laws around consumer vehicles mandate it.
Remember, anyone can buy a Tesla and turn on self driving. You can’t buy a Waymo car.
