For several years now Tesla has been assuring us that "full self-driving" was right around the corner. Back in 2016, an optimistic Elon Musk thought that by 2018 you would be able to summon your (Tesla) car from across the country, and it would navigate any road safely on its way to you including charging itself at stations.
Later that year he claimed that their hardware was complete which would enable Level 5 self driving - which means you can sleep in the back seat because the car is totally autonomous, that they were only waiting for regulations to catch up.
Now, not so much. Current claims are more realistic and less exciting.
A report Tesla gave to the SEC recently says that they are "developing self-driving and driver assist technologies" that they cannot guarantee will work. Those former over-optimistic claims are being walked back.
