What company has as good of an autopilot? The luxury car makers don’t seem to have one.
- redox99 4y agoAutopilot (not FSD) is glorified lane centering + traffic aware cruise control. Most cars have this nowadays. Tesla's is among the best but others are up there too. Out of spec reviews has compared these systems among many brands. This Autopilot is pretty old Tesla technology, basically abandoned, to be replaced by their FSD stack which also handles cities.
- treis 4y agoFSD does way more than glorified lane centering. It legitimately drives the car through city streets. It doesn't do it reliably enough that you can just set it and forget it but it's still a legit accomplishment.
- redox99 4y agoI think you misread. Autopilot is the glorified lane centering.

- tel 4y agoIsn't SuperCruise limited to a subset of highways still, though? Super curious about Mercedes, though. If nothing else, they will take on liability and thus likely delve more deeply into some of the challenges around L3.
- fxtentacle 4y agoThey even have certified Level 3 already, which Tesla is still beta testing.
