Name any other automaker that makes claims like these about their automatic cruise control: "the person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself."[1]

How about Ford: full self-driving by 2021.

Tesla thinks they can get there faster by a year.

Did you read my comment? Tesla didn't claim that they can get there faster, Tesla claimed that their automatic cruise control doesn't require a driver at all.

Again, here is what Tesla claimed:

> "the person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself."

Ford has never made a claim that spurious and dangerous like Tesla has.
