I think other companies might come close. They might not have Tesla style "FSD", but coming close in terms of highway only, slow speed only, might be enough to make Tesla a "car company".
Mercedes has already started its approval for L3 self-driving in the US, where they would assume liability. A lot of other cars have a subset of "Autopilot + FSD" features like: adaptive cruise control, auto-park, summon, better lane assist*. Sure, these are not the same as Tesla FSD, but in a few years other manufacturers will come close enough.
One big factor in why Tesla is/seems ahead is because they are using regular people to "test" their "FSD", when other companies are being more cautious.
Tesla could showcase their "FSD" by having "full self-driving" teslas in certain cities, and applying for licenses, but they haven't.
- maxharris 4y agoCan you explain to me what principles the Mercedes system operates on? And why does it have to be geofenced? An advanced system can learn and operate anywhere.
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoL3 and more means that legal liability for crash is up to Mercedes. That's the reason why it is geofenced. Tesla is selling only L2 software, pretending that it is L5. When they will take legal liability as well, then it is possible to assume, that they trust their product. Until then, it is just a scam.
