Musk is over there working on taking them to China. Apparently he has a lot to do to get permission to take the software to China. I don't like the idea of self driving. I can see too many things that can go wrong. Can you imagine what a hacked self driver could do on one of these 50 lane freeways in China? I couldn't ever stay awake in one.

'"Does This Image Show a Traffic Jam on China's 50-Lane Highway?""This photograph was taken in October 2015 at the end of Golden Week, a week-long national holiday in China, and it captures heavy congestion at a toll gate on the G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway:" "An aerial view from Google Maps shows that the G4 Expressway is typically a 4-lane highway. The road expands to the width of approximately 50 cars when it approaches the Zhuozhou Toll Gate, but before and after this toll checkpoint it is only a 4-lane road." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/china-50-lane-highway-traffic-jam/
Yeah, I know, everyone doesn't like Snopes but this isn't exactly a political topic.

You don't need to go to China. I've seen many self-driving Teslas in downtown Phoenix, AZ.

I have no interest in a self-driving car wouldn't trust riding in one.

Yeah, I know, everyone doesn't like Snopes but this isn't exactly a political topic. It doesn't matter if the freeway narrows to 4 lanes. At that point it's 50 lanes with a massive traffic jam. A haywire self driving car...or truck... could be disastrous.
