Seems to me that; if US car companies are giving up on the idea [Didn't Tesla recently announce similar?] then the idea is pretty much dead for now. I could just about see self-driving vehicles working in US cities with their straight roads and grid layout. But the twisty narrow roads of most European towns and cities would add a whole extra level of complexity.

Tesla hasn't given up. If they do they'd have to refund millions to customers who bought FSD. Until they get sued by some large group of customers I think Tesla will act as though it's just over the horizon until some big jump in AI tech actually gets them there.

You can give up without ever saying the words, "I'm giving up" which is what I expect Tesla will do and keep the money.
