Well what's the point of self driving if you can't have a wank on the drive home?

Delicately put. But essentially that's why self-driving cars are not really seen outside of Tesla. Unless the technology is basically perfect there's essentially no point to it.

Tesla have it because they use the public as guinea pigs.

I wouldn't mind if they all had to go to some dedicated test track to try it out and train it and outside of those environments it wouldn't turn on. If they want to risk their lives that's their prerogative, my problem is that it might drive into me one day and I don't own a Tesla so why should I take that risk?
