> Was it level 5? of course not.

You realize there are fully autonomous waymo cabs operating at "level 4" in several regions... today. Anybody can download the app and ride in them now.

Google didn't go around promising this "next year" every year for the last decade. They just went out and did the work to make the product work, and released it.

I do realize that. I'm not making a comparative judgement here. I'm mentioning that fsd as a feature is pretty amazing to me. Elon does over promise, but seems to at least partially deliver (as opposed to total vaporware).
