A friend brought this new Mercedes electric by yesterday so a test drive was in order.

As with the other electrics it is an easy and fun car to drive with no noticeable problems in any department.


Sitting there anxiously watching a computer try to drive is far far more stress than actually driving the car myself. Humans are terrible at sitting watching, the mind drifts off to more interesting things. Computers are excellent at watching humans however, they do not get bored or distracted.


My solution is drive the Tesla myself and have fun and if anyone ever does get a self driving system which works for the general case I can get it then. I do not expect to live long enough to have to worry about that, it may take 25 years. It may never happen given the complexity of reality.
