This Mercedes Benz press release, "our revolutionary world first highway driving stack is gonna change the world," has real Elon-Musk-of-10-years-ago energy to it. Meanwhile, Tesla FSD is driving a million miles per day around town, not playing follow-the-leader on a highway. I find one of these significantly more impressive than the other.

Tesla is free to go for L3 approval, if Musk is to believed they have best AI/FSD/snake_oil stack on market

  Mercedes is free to join the robotaxi race, if L3 is a general indicator of their sophistication rather than a focused sprint down a dead-end use-case.

- Musk, 8 years ago: "We're going to end up with complete autonomy, and I think we will have complete autonomy in approximately two years." - Musk, 2 years ago: FSD will yields for emergency vehicles using microphone - Today: Mercedes reaches L3 before Tesla passes L2 and FSD does not yield for emergency vehicle sirens while Drive Pilot does. There's a trend on these things but I can't quite put my finger on it...

    FSD does not yield for emergency vehicle sirens. https://insideevs.com/news/534868/tesla-autopilot-update-emergency-vehicles https://insideevs.com/news/534868/tesla-autopilot-update-eme... Drive Pilot uses external microphones to detect the approaching siren and manages right of way before making visual contact. Not all drivers understand the value in the latter though.

      Your link is over two years old, lol. Almost as old as Tesla's plans to listen for sirens [1]. Now, I don't know if they actually wound up going that route or if they just got so damn good at vision that it works even in challenging situations, but work it does, and that's the important thing.
