Actually after having tested a couple of other cars, for instance the Renault Megane, the BMW i4 and the Mercedes EQE have better enhanced drive assistance than Tesla. For instance:
* when in full-auto on a single lane road, when there's an exit on the right the Tesla 3 almost always slightly swerve towards the exit before coming back in its lane. None of the Megane, the EQE or the BMW i4 do that.
* To overtake a slower vehicle, the Megane and i4 are better : simply push the left blinker, then the car switch lanes and accelerates BEFORE having entirely switched lane, like a human driver would do.
* The mapping and charge planning on the BMW and particularly the EQE/EQS are arguably slightly superior now to Tesla (though Tesla is still a bit easier). Renault is very close, and Kia/Hyundai isn't far behind either.

- wazoox 4y agoWow that's a hell of a failure from Tesla. And the 3 others (Audi, BMW, Ford) just did fine.
- fowkswe 4y ago> * To overtake a slower vehicle, the Megane and i4 are better : simply push the left blinker, then the car switch lanes and accelerates BEFORE having entirely switched lane, like a human driver would do. Teslas do this in FSD mode.
- chrisandchris 4y agoMy 2015 Seat did that too with cruise control enabled (well, minus sone stuff that is self-driving), but he did accelerate with cruise control enabled and auto-keep-distance). No need to buy a $x FSD Tesla to get some extra.
- kwhitefoot 4y agoMy 2015 Model S does this, has done for a long time. No need for FSD, just Autosteer.
- wazoox 4y agoIn Europe nobody ever buys FSD because the gimmicks are disabled for security reason (no remote summoning, no automatic parking). If that's the only feature that 7000€ buys...

None of the Megane, the EQE or the BMW i4 do that. A minor nuisance. Unless you happen to be at the ready attentively double-checking whatever the assistance is doing - then it must be infuriatingly annoying! Guess what you're supposed to be doing, all the time...
- bsagdiyev 4y agoThat's the point of assistance, it shouldn't need double checking by a human every time. It should just work.
- shadowgovt 4y agoUnfortunately, Autopilot currently exists in the liminal space where it should just work... Unless it doesn't, in which case it's allowed to kick out with no margin of notice time and the driver is immediately responsible for what happens next. It's entirely possible that is an unsafe-at-any-speed configuration.
- bsagdiyev 4y agoIt's sketchy at best. Our newest car does emergency braking and that's it. And it's good at it, only engaging when there is a situation it feels (and is correct) about me not braking in time or hard enough. I shouldn't have to worry about it failing.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoThat’s the point of a Level 4 driver assistance system. Tesla’s Autopilot is 2 while Mercedes’ Drive Pilot is 3 in limited areas. Waymo is an example of a Level 4 system, albeit very limited in geographic area.
- shadowgovt 4y agoSomeone tried to sell me a Tesla, and had me take it out on the highway to try Autopilot. The salesperson had the misfortune of suggesting I engage right when there was an exit coming up on the right. It wasn't a great first user experience to have the car immediately drift right towards the guardrail crusher.
- darknavi 4y ago> The mapping and charge planning on the BMW and particularly the EQE/EQS are arguably slightly superior now to Tesla Really? One of the main selling points for me is that the center screen in Teslas are actually usable, non-laggy POS like most cars these days.
- izacus 4y agoNone of the infotainment systems on new EVs are particularly laggy anymore - BMW and Mercedes systems are quite good. VW is the only one still shipping a piece of crock.
- rtp4me 4y agoMind if I show you my 2021 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid Infotainment system? Utter garbage. Slow, clunky, almost unusable.
- bbbbb5 4y agoIt's not really surprising, the 3 big German automakers spent around 3 billion USD to buy (at least at the time) the best mapping product on the market.
- aplummer 4y agoI think everyone else just turns on CarPlay / Android Auto and forgets they have an infotainment system.
