      Exactly, you can’t just drive without verifying that you’re a safe driver. That’s why we have a process to get a driver’s license. Has Autopilot passed licensing?

        So if an autonomous car can drive around the block and parallel park it’s licensed?

      Humans have a lower accident rate than Tesla’s autopilot, it says so in the article itself.

        Being able to drive around the block and parallel park is enough for self driving to be certified?
