> I think it's weird that so many people seem to think that Tesla have made such a significant technology leap ahead of everyone else that they're comfortable with putting their lives in the hands of their Autopilot system while other manufacturers have no such thing available in production.
Don't they, though?
From what I understand, Tesla's "Autopilot" doesn't do much more than lanekeeping, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking, which you can buy on a wide range of vehicles today. For example, I drive a Honda CRV that does all of this - on the highway it really does drive itself. You don't even have to buy the top trim levels, just one up from the bottom.

I also don't see any Youtube videos showing how their Hondas are driving themselves automatically. It's mainly a marketing issue, but too many seem to have bought it.
