Definitely takes something to imply someone working in the space (on actual self-driving, not faked demos and empty promises) is engaging in a "fanboy holy war"

Definitely takes something to imply someone working in the space (on actual self-driving, not faked demos and empty promises) is engaging in a "fanboy holy war".
The simple fact is Mercedes made a massive leap that other manufacturers have not been able too, despite repeat implications they would do so many years ago. The fact that some of the existing L2 systems can even be activated on non-major highways is a farce, and overall this is a lot of waxing poetic about what could be, vs what is.

Actually, I can see why someone saying this stuff with a straight face would assume everyone else is also a fanboy of something.
