Having used other products, I think this is objectively not true. I've seen "Pro" pilot accelerate itself into its own collision warning and randomly fail at basic curves.
I've seen video of Ford Copilot failing due to glare and jerking toward trees.
For some reason, Tesla just gets more attention. Some of the other beta-like behaviors are actually worse.
- AlexandrB 5y agoTesla gets more attention because their CEO keeps promising the world[1] and selling these features as "Full Self Driving" instead of "Copilot". [1] https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/686279251293777920 https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/68627925129377792...
- jsight 5y agoThe others claim that you can drive without your hands on the wheel, despite the fact that the time required for takeover can be milliseconds. I'm really not convinced that is objectively better, even with whitelisted roads.
- beardyw 5y agoQuite a lot of milliseconds in fact. For a visual stimulus it is 1/4 of a second minimum. That's 22 feet at 50 mph.
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoI haven’t seen this, but I’m out of the loop. Which ones are claiming this?
- jsight 5y agoGM SuperCruise right now, and Ford is claiming that their "Blue Cruise" product will be able to do it soon. There may be others, but those are the two that I'm familiar with. I've also been observing a general trend of reviewers rating the performance of new vehicles based in part on how long it can go without nagging the user to hold the wheel. sigh
