It's not and other companies (maybe even Tesla itself?) have been able to do this since at least the early 2010's. Tesla gets a lot of marketing bang for their buck by letting a couple dozen Youtubers pay for and test their autonomous driving software instead of paid safety drivers. It make it feels more like something anyone can buy now unlike the competitions self-driving cars... and you can pay for it now! just it doesn't come with the features you expect from watching the videos or seeing the name of the product.
