> or also on rural third world country roads?

I drove 40,000 miles from Alaska to Argentina and 54,000 miles around Africa [1].

From experience, I can tell you the vast majority of vehicles sold in the developed world wouldn't last a couple of months on 'rural third world country roads'. The potholes, corrugations, mud, dust and everything else are intense.

For eg, this is how I crossed the Democratic Republic of Congo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV8V3GdOcPU

That's a key distinction, "the road" is an ambiguity that these car companies love to deploy.

Personally I trust that before Honda rolls this tech out in the United States, it will be in fact bulletproof. Or at least that's my perception as a US consumer who has owned multiple Honda products.

Given what I read about Tesla, they'd most likely blame the roads, the driver or simply lie about the capabilities and push forward because "it's safer than humans!".
