Eh, other companies were heading towards the same goal in smaller increments (and more slowly). First it was cruise control, then emergency auto-braking, then assisted cruise control, then lane assist, then lane change assist, then object identification with cameras, etc... It's just that they didn't publicise their goal of 'the car will do all the driving'. It was the same logical endpoint though.

Of course I still don't see manufacturers effectively beta testing tech with real drivers like Tesla. Car companies don't like huge risk they like churning out features slowly and predictably.
