I once rode in a Tesla with the autopilot activated. I swear I could feel that a computer was driving it, because the steering was ever so slightly less smooth than that of a human. It seemed to be making microadjustments constantly. Also, the owner frequently had to make little corrections. It felt like it was just barely pulling it off. I don't think we're anywhere near as close to a self-driving car as the hype would have you believe, and the tech press finally seems to be catching on too.
