I should point out the the Autopilot features were successfully demonstrated to everyone who took a ride in the demo cars at the unveiling. The car successfully followed a meandering lane, adjusted speed by reading speed limit signs, changed lanes with a flick of the turn signal and stopped when the car in front stopped.
This would suggest that these features are nearly ready for release.
Not At All. This suggests to me that the engineers hacked together enough functionality for a very controlled demo. Working in the real world with dashed freeway line markers, often painted out, obscured, in shadows, irregular due to construction, etc. is a very different problem. I know that it is very foolish to bet against Elon, but my gut tells me that his autonomous driving goal will end up being much harder than he anticipated. And for us, that means long drawn out releases with less functionality than promised.
