The Driving Problem: How Far Are We From Autonomous Vehicles?
1:17:18 - 1:25:15 (07:57)
The current driving problem is still quite hard, and people need to be realistic about the capabilities of current technology. While lane keeping is helpful, a fully autonomous system is still orders of magnitude more valuable.

The number of self-driving cars on the road is not in the thousands, but rather in the hundreds.
1:20:04 - 1:21:26 (01:22)
Summary
The number of self-driving cars on the road is not in the thousands, but rather in the hundreds. They are not yet fully transparent about the ratio of cars to safety people, but they claim that there is no teleoperation.
