How much did they rake in from selling FSD vaporware?

This vaporware recently drove 95%+ of a 2000 mile road trip for me. If only other vaporware was like this ...

For that figure to be true you would have to ignore the requirement that you maintain awareness and control of the vehicle at all times. Autopilot !== FSD. Your car did not "drive itself," you were in control of the car 100% of the time — at least I hope so...

Only 1700 miles here (Portland<->Yellowstone). And straight up: this was the most relaxing and engaging road trip I've driven, anywhere, in any car, since I got my license in 1990. Standing up after a leg driven by the AP is just magic: no stiffness, no soreness. It's no different than if I'd been sitting in an office chair.

No, check that. My office chair frankly isn't as comfortable as the car.

I have a Lexus with lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise, on a 9 hour trip on Canadian highways, I have had to disengage only when I am exiting the highway to make pit stop. Should Lexus market their "Full Self Driving" capability too?

I too use my adaptive cruise control on German Autobahn and barely touch any commands while on it, I'd say it covers 95% of my needs too (it's not Tesla). And I call it as it is, adaptive cruise control, not the FSD

Both your POVs can be true.

It's not "full" if it's missing the 5%. In that sense, it's vaporware.

Each and every modern car has a driving assistive system. It is vaporware since it is still no autonomous drive as touted for, but simply an assistance to the driver which requires his permanent attention.

I have been much more impressed with HUDs in common cars lately. Now that, although definitely not related to autonomous is a huge help to offset the cognitive load.

Many $ from happy customers, many autonomous kilometers driven, have fun in your Ford focus

I bought at 48k car in Q1 partially because of the autonomy potential. If FSD doesn't meet your expectations then don't buy it.
