When can I get a Tesla that drives itself? About six months?

From your local Tesla dealer. Technically, you do still have to "supervise" it, which basically means making sure the little camera that watches your eyes doesn't catch you with your eyes off the road too much.

My sister-in-law's mother drove one from Florida to the northeast without touching the steering wheel or pedal/brake, right down to the parking at each end.

I've been a humongous fsd sceptic for a while, but had to lay that aside after I went for a test drive (test ride?) in one of these things.

What that technicality means is that you are liable when the car kills someone, not Tesla. Level 3 self-driving is a completely broken idea. People cannot closely supervise a process that never requires their input - when you suddenly are needed you will not be prepared to respond quickly enough. Either you are driving the car, or you aren't. If you are liable, you are driving it.
