We must let go delusional thinking that with current AI we can safely throw autonomous car in a dense urban area.
Using autonomous car to improve mobility in rural area (eg. for elders people) would prove much more applicable as a paid service and complemental to public transportation.
But if mainstream geeks and investors keep dreaming about K2000 they will be deceived by current AI.
Given the capability which Tesla currently demonstrates, it seems extreme to call the idea of full autonomy with current AI technologies delusional. With their current progress, full autonomy in production seems reasonable within a few years.
As for capability and reasonable aspect, I will be much more interested in reading post-mortem reports of the fatal crash under a truck by road safety organizations when (and if) they come out...
Distinguishing verifiable facts from marketing is actually important...
It's not an end to end trip.
The cars are also unable to handle unexpected changes in traffic lights, or road signage.
They are very very far from being able to drive entirely independently.
