Tesla's driver assist tech is much better than most other cars. People are excited about that, making the media report a lot about mostly bad incidents. Nobody cares about your Peugeot 208 "Lane keep assist" crashing you into a cliff, because nobody cares about your Peugeot 208 in the first place.

Just for your reference none of the major auto companies do mid-range vehicle ADAS in-house (Higher-end vehicles and Halo product vehicles maybe sometimes).

There is no Peugeot LDW, there is just a bunch of OEM suppliers (Bosch, TRW, Mobileye, Continental, etc.) who do that for auto companies.

So raining on Peugeot because it is somehow second tier is misleading and misinformed because the electronics you find in a Peugeot ADAS sys, you will equally find in all other mid-range vehicles in the market.

So one of those failing would be a pretty big deal because it would apply to many models across many auto brands.

Tesla had something like 31 Billion in revenue in 2020 and as an example Bosch had about 71 Billion in revenue for the same period. If there was a case to sue lawyers would be jumping on it.

Are you confirming what I said or? It's pretty well known car brands integrate and work on various preexisting parts platforms
