Can I get in the car, set destination, then sit in the back and watch a movie with my feet up? Can I call my car to me when I'm in LA and the car in NYC?[1]

If not, it's not self driving as generally understood, it's just driver or lane assist. A perception intentionally created by Tesla promoting their driver assist as giving a car that could effectively wander off on its own. Maybe take a part-time job as autonomous taxi. Long having offered full self driving in the paid options list.

You don't need those features that you describe in order to be a self driving car.

For most people, the MVP of a self driving car is merely "able to take your hands off the wheel".
