they have pretty much updated their website from the days of claiming they could do it to a much more restricted form of driving assistance, implying they will get there one day. I own a Tesla Model 3, going in for the hardware 3.0 upgrade tomorrow, and I use the auto steer feature a lot more than I used to. The traffic aware cruise control portion is very good, as robust as any other maker. The automatic steering is LKA on steroids and does fine on open highway and back roads. It tends to caution, slowing for curves I would not even bat an eye at, and for cars turning off the road it does not even begin to accelerate until they well off the road. It is simply magical at night even in the rain. It is not without its faults. I have a few spots on my drive I know it will mess up, mainly with horridly marked exits that will want to follow instead of maintaining its lane. The worst part, except on interstates it is limited to five miles an hour over the marked limit. Which means on many parts of my commute I would either annoy a lot of people or get run down by some. Still I consider it as assistant that I meddle with. I have never ever liked the name autopilot and really had hoped they would shutter the name until it was much closer to level 4. I was surprised no government has forced them to change the name, it implies far more ability than it has and worse too many people have this near magical connotation of what the term implies. Yes it is dreadful some have died while driving this car or any other. The simple fact here is, regardless of features you are damn idiot if you are using your phone while driving let alone watching videos. I don't care what you think you were promised you know you are in the wrong so stop it.
