There was a local incident here that surprised me. A woman and her young
daughter were startled in the parking lot of a small high-end grocery store
when a Tesla came very close to them. There was no driver nor anyone
visible. Looks like someone about to leave the store summoned the car
to pick them up. I knew that was possible, I knew that they had been testing
driverless cars in some cities, but I thought so far they always had a person
in the car. I had no idea that with a production Tesla you could do this.
I would have been totally surprised if I saw it happen to me. And a car
owner, I for sure would not have done this unless I could watch what the
car was doing.

I have not kept up with the autodrive cars, but thought that someone was
suppose to be behind the wheel. I was in a friends car with the
distance following radar and lane keeping. While the car would do that
while riding down the interstate I thought he said he still had to have
his hands on the stering wheel.
