Tesla owner says self-driving updates have changed the car’s day-to-day appeal

A Tesla owner says the car’s self-driving has improved substantially over the past year and that standard mode now leaves them alone more. The owner says this has changed how much they would want a Tesla for daily use, adding that they dislike driving it manually and would use self-driving whenever they were in one. They describe standard mode as strict for about the first two minutes before becoming more permissive, and imagine vibe coding while driving.

A separate point about autonomous driving is that a car trip may not meet the full need: a hired driver also parked the car and handled errands such as picking up food or dry cleaning. The view expressed is that autonomous vehicles would need to close that loop, not just drive.
