Autopilot is more than just "active lane centering and steering" (known as LKAS) Autopilot is a combination of a lot of things (TACC + Autosteer + Auto Lane Change + Auto Lane Keep + NOA etc...)
Autosteer is also way ahead of everything else out there right now. The competition is mainly just TACC and basic LKAS.
For example, I am yet to see so other cars perform in conditions like this:

Yeah mostly an extra option and costs $$$. Basic autopilot and a ton of safety features are FREE on Tesla. It's actually pathetic how other car manufacturers charge for advanced safety features.

Yes, it is. The parent just made a dismissive, " Does it steer and lane center in general, besides when you drift out of lane?", implying that other cars don't. Other cars also have other features beyond LKAS, too. That's just the focus of this article. > For example, I am yet to see so other cars perform in conditions like this: "Removed because there's no way to verify it was actually autopilot performing the maneuver. We are going to make a rule where future dashcam autopilot vids will be removed." > Yeah mostly an extra option and costs $$$. Basic autopilot and a ton of safety features are FREE on Tesla. And basic intelligent services and safety are free/standard on most new cars too. While advanced features might cost money, so too does advanced autopilot on a Tesla too, so let's not act like there's that much of a difference. What are some of these "basic safety features" that are free on a Tesla that "other manufacturers [pathetically] charge for"?

- xedeon 7y agoThanks! No other car that you can buy right now can do that. I will eat my words if proven otherwise.
- igrekel 7y agoas far as I know, when I got my M3, auto lane change was not part of autopilot but has been moved to the full self driving package.
