Tesla Unveils Dual Motor And Autopilot, Oct 10, 2014: https://youtu.be/FZ6lZJWL_Xk?t=378 https://youtu.be/FZ6lZJWL_Xk?t=378 "from zero miles an hour to 155 miles an hour and so it'll detect if there's a car in your blind spot if you've got a highway barrier on one side if there's something you might you know move into in any way possible" Toyota never claimed any of this stuff.

  > Toyota never claimed any of this stuff. My wife's (ex-) 2019 Toyota CH-R had warnings for vehicles in blind spots while driving (or parking) and gave a nice feedback in the steering wheel if, when above 50 km/h, you'd steer out of your lane without using your blinker. It was very convenient and a nice security feature without claiming to be an auto-pilot.

    Not my car but a member of my family's car does that with the steering wheel and I hate driving it. Granted I live in the country, but I want to be able to go over the line slightly to avoid something in the road without it trying to shove me back

      I turn on blinker when I do it to indicate to others that I am about to.

how many Toyotas do you see where they are marketed as having autopilot?
