Calling it L3 capable is like saying Tesla is Full Self Driving. Neither is true, both are marketing. > but I don't think there's any way to say that for sure I mean yes there is. If you want to have an object test where you drop a car anywhere in the world and see if it can get somewhere else, then clearly one is more useful then the other. In basketball they say 'the best ability is availability'. In terms of that AP is in a totally different dimension. AP has been driven for 100s of millions of miles by know, it must be a crazy high number by now. Mercedes L3 system has barley driven at all, its available in very few cars. The only way you can reasonably compare the Mercedes L3 system is if you limit the comparison to the extremely limited cases where the Mercedes L3 system is available. If you compare them there, I would think they aren't that different. > otherwise Tesla would release an L3 capable car too No, because making something L3 in a extremely limited selection of places is simply not something Tesla is interested in doing. Doing so would be a lot of work that they simply don't consider worth doing when they are trying to solve the larger problem.

If Tesla's work is actually going somewhere, then they don't need to change the engineering to get L3 in specific places. They can have a list that gets added to over time.

  Actually it would be a lot of work doing that. Even if not just work on the software itself. Something like that would cause a lot of work in literally all over the company. Also, they don't really have an inattentive to do that, so why should they.

    > literally all over the company Why? The design is locked in, the manufacturing doesn't change, you don't need the designers to do much... I would expect you need a handful of people, half of which are lawyers. > Also, they don't really have an inattentive to do that, so why should they. I'm pretty sure almost all Tesla owners would like the ability to stop looking at the road some of the time. That amount of customer satisfaction is not a motivation for the company?
