The claimed 2015 deadline was not established. Related 2009 highway and 2019 majority-driving versions are kept separately.

Attribution unresolved — outcome conditional on this wording

Autonomous cars are common by 2015.

Conditional verdict: PARTIAL

At original deadline: PARTLY FULFILLED · By review: PARTLY FULFILLED

Prototype and constrained capability existed, but common ordinary-road autonomy was not established by 2015. Public geofenced driverless service later supplies meaningful partial realization. Availability in selected cities is a broader late success.

LATE, documented by 2020, for public commercially available fully driverless rides in a defined service area.

Excluded from aggregate author accuracy. Conditional wording and related canonical versions are never counted twice.

The evidence.

No outcome evidence has been verified.

Legacy ratings are preserved in the source package. They have not been accepted as evidence for this assessment.

Capability, adoption, and timing

A related breakthrough is not automatically fulfillment. Review must check the actual capability, how widely it was required to be used, the specified technology, and the original deadline. A prototype cannot establish a claim about routine or widespread use.
