What's hard about this comparison is knowing exactly what you saw. If the safety driver disengaged 1-3x, it might have felt like a robotaxi drove you all over; but the effort to get that system safe for unmanned regular service might take another decade.

If it was super mapped and following a fixed route with object avoidance; the difference between a car that can go on an HD-map track and one that can go point-to-point in a city is also maybe a decade.

We humans have limited empathy for what is really really really hard for computers. Many know that's true for an app, but somehow ignore that knowledge when it comes to autonomy.
