    My car is self driving.
    I get in and half hour later I think shit how’d I get here??
    I can’t remember that journey.

    Sounds scary but that has actually happened to me once :O
    i drove from Exeter to Bristol up the m5 at 7am and didn’t realise I was at work until I pulled up and then shat myself as I couldn’t recall any of the journey.

I’ve driven miles, with just having to steer. Not quite fully automated, but it’s going in the right direction.
    That tech is an evolution of stuff that's been around since the late 90's. Mercedes W220 S Class with Distronic (1998?) and BMW E38 7 series with Active Cruise Control (2000?) I believe was when this tech was first released in production road cars.
