https://jwz.org/b/yk3E@jwz I mean I don't change gears manually in my car any more and when I use the radar cruise control on the freeway I guess I'm just advising the vehicle as well, rather than driving it. I'm still in the driver seat though, and if CHP tell me to pull over I'm going to pull over and have my licence, registration, and insurance card ready by the time they get to the window.

@fluffydotorg @jwz I'm guessing you also don't claim to be changing gears manually when you aren't. When you say "I'm driving", everyone knows you aren't a little homunculus inside the engine moving pistons and pushing fluid around. When Waymo says the cars are self-driving, it leads people to believe they... drive themselves, which is not the case.
