>I thought fully autonomous driving was meant to be done by now?
Musk was bullshitting when he made that prediction. Maybe he did it because he had bought his own bullshit. Personally I think what's more likely is that he was cynically conning people.
In reality, I think no-one is anywhere close to fully self driving cars. I would be surprised if we saw fully self driving cars any time in the next 50 years.
The whole field of fully self driving cars has been astonishingly full of empty hype, for some reason often believed by otherwise quite smart people.
