Admittedly Autopilot is currently still in beta and far more reliable on highways and with other traffic to lock onto and mimic, but holey moley ...

Sheesh. A drunk person drives better than that!

That one swerve into the oncoming lane with an oncoming car was a real eye-opener. Also how it accelerates into a sharp corner and then just gives up halfway through, lol. I take my hat off to what Autopilot is attempting but it's clearly a bit more half-baked than I'd previously thought.

Maybe the car thinks it's in the UK lol

They guy is driving in a circle, you can see the car hitting the same line every time. I think it's the GPS mapping tbh. Second lap start at around 2:00

It's only ever going to be as accurate as the GPS data it receives.

Several sensors, radars and cameras are are used in conjunction with GPS data for decision making.

So Tesla says that auto-pilot should only be used on a highway and guy tries to prove that Tesla auto-pilot sucks while not driving on a highway.

kinda pointless.
