No, people in 2014 kept saying driverless cars will be 5 years away. And they kept pushing "no, wait, in 5 more years". It's 2023, and they still say it's "5 more years", or they pretend that it's already here and these cars have no problems whatsoever.
Actual, real, Level 5 automated driving is not here and will take at least 20 years to get there. Probably 50 years, realistically. What Cruise is doing is the same thing Elon Musk does with Tesla's: Call it a "self-driving car" when it's anything but.
These cars can follow lines and pretend to drive. They can't actually drive. They can't handle any of the edge cases. Their handlers completely ignore all of the accidents and mistakes they make on a daily basis. They brush aside the fatalities, and blame it on everything else except themselves, practicing a healthy dose of whataboutism when they compare their mistakes to humans.
