Haven't ridden in one, but I think Mercedes' Drive Pilot is supposed to be a contender: https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/27/23892154/mercedes-benz-drive-pilot-a

  Drive Pilot just follows the car in front and has several limitations, it doesn't even have overtaking, so I would be surprised since the parent poster says lack of automatic overtaking is a limitation. Drive Pilot: Works only when behind another car, it just follows that car Cannot change lanes Works only under 40MPH Works only in daylight, does not work at night Does not work in rain Works only in traffic jams and heavy traffic Works only on a few pre-approved roads How is the world is FSD "severely lagging behind" this tech when FSD has none of these limitations? Something weird about how the Mercedes tech is hyped up in message forums.

    Yes, it does have a lot of limitations, though I suppose one argument would be that if Mercedes isn't willing to do autonomy without a lot of caveats that's because they're risk averse (or at least their lawyers are).
