A much better question is whether Tesla will be able to keep up with the new autonomous features that everyone else are doing. The new Mercedes E-class is the first to be approved as an autonomous car in Nevada, so they do have a technical edge on Tesla already. And with next years S-class, they'll start putting LIDAR on their cars. This isn't even on Tesla's roadmap. It's beginning to look like Tesla saw there was a niche where existing hardware they could license would quickly give them a more "advanced" "Autopilot" system simply by being less conservative wrt. safety than other carmakers. Will this come back to bite them? Time will tell.
