Every story has to start somewhere, and ours begins in 2013, when Elon Musk was just beginning to promise the world his cars would be self-driving. To his credit, he was predicting Tesla would be building a self-driving car by 2016

In 2014, Elon Musk continued to promise at least 90 percent self-driving by year’s end,

In 2015, Autopilot was fully rolled out to Model S drivers and Musk was promising the software would be able to handle freeways and simple roads in a matter of months.

2016 was the year of the now infamous demonstration video in which a Tesla Model X seemed to be driving itself. However, a former Tesla engineer recently testified he helped stage the video with Musk’s full knowledge. Sadly, 2016 saw the first confirmed fatality in a crash using Autopilot. You know what also didn’t happen? A fully self-driving car. Musk promised that next year would be the year, according to Insider:
