"Tesla’s autopilot isn’t even particularly new."

Guess what... Apple didn't sell the first smartphone either.

Someone takes a small step into car driving automation, tries to create some buzz around it, then I've got to read about how it's not a big deal. The nuances between autonomous and auto-pilot need to be discussed. We need a taxonomy.

I guess writing these sorts of articles is a million times easier than adding any autonomous features to any vehicle.

Forward progress is extremely important. It comes technically and socially. Let's hope everyone demands a car with "that stuff" they have in a Tesla. We'll get a little arms race that'll pay for further development, lives will be save (in total), and we'll asymptotically approach the vision.
