    You used to get that when parking at Anfield. Don't know if you still do. It was only ten bob to 'Mind your car, mister' back then (1970s) though. Feral kids now probably millionaires living on the Wirral.

    Crap report, full FSD on a Tesla is NOT available in the UK and restricted un the US to only specific individuals as it is under test. The article is not factually correct in various aspects and seems to be seeking sensationalism rather than factual reporting. It is currently accepted in the motor industry that autonomous driving cars are not there yet.
