musk:

2016 "We should be able to do 90 percent of miles driven [autonomously] within three years."

2015 "A Tesla car next year will probably be 90-percent capable of autopilot. Like, so 90 percent of your miles can be on auto. For sure highway travel."

2018 "From a technology standpoint, Tesla will have a car that can do full autonomy in about three years, maybe a bit sooner."

2018 "We're going to end up with complete autonomy, and I think we will have complete autonomy in approximately two years."

2019 "I consider autonomous driving to be a basically solved problem. ... We're less than two years away from complete autonomy. Regulators however will take at least another year; they'll want to see billions of miles of data."

there are about 20 more entries like this.

you apparently haven't paid attention to the grifter in chief https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_predictions_for_autonomous_Tesla_vehicles_by_Elon_Musk

That's only musk though. Hardly "was undeniable fact".

Remember when it was an undeniable fact that most cars would be driving entirely by themselves by now?
