There's like three comments in here talking about the technology, everyone else is arguing about names like people are magically absolved of personal responsibilities when they believe advertising over common sense.

Because the tech has inarguably failed. It's all about the lawyers and how long they can extend Tesla's irresponsibility.

See, I would much rather have this discussion vs another one about advertising and names.

We're seeing progress. Ford is expanding features on Blue Cruise (in-lane avoidance maneuvers I believe). I think Mercedes is expanding the area theirs works in. Tesla added off-highway navigation in the last year.

No one's reached full autonomy for more than a few minutes or a few miles, but I wouldn't say there's no argument there. In fact, I'd say they're arguably making visible progress.
