I have a tesla and autopilot is not the best L2 system out there. That crown belongs to GM with Supercruise (though they are doing their best to squander the technology by not racing to get it into every car they make).
Supercruise allows hands free operation and properly tracks user attention, 2 things autopilot doesn't do. It also has a much safer disconnect behaviour by slowly and safely pulling the car over to the side of the road rather than expecting the user to just take over.

It also has a much safer disconnect behaviour by slowly and safely pulling the car over to the side of the road rather than expecting the user to just take over. Maybe? What happens if the shoulder is not really a shoulder, but part of a hill? What happens if no shoulder at all? Being rear-ended on a highway for going too slow is a thing. The disconnect behavior I generally see is AP turns off, but TACC stays on. So you stay in your lane, staying a safe distance back, but no more lane changes. I believe if AP is really mad at you, it eventually will stop, but I don't want to stop on a highway to test it out.
- theluketaylor 5y agosupercruise is geofenced to laser mapped highways (over 250,000 miles already mapped), so it knows exactly where to safely pull over. GM was just showing off supercruise while towing: https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/41643/super-cruise-hands-free-towing-in-the-2022-gmc-sierra-is-like-commanding-a-freight-train https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/41643/super-cruise-hands-f... Autopilot could add any and all of these things, but right now supercruise is the best L2 system available.
