Tesla gets more attention because their CEO keeps promising the world[1] and selling these features as "Full Self Driving" instead of "Copilot".

The others claim that you can drive without your hands on the wheel, despite the fact that the time required for takeover can be milliseconds.

I'm really not convinced that is objectively better, even with whitelisted roads.

I haven’t seen this, but I’m out of the loop. Which ones are claiming this?

GM SuperCruise right now, and Ford is claiming that their "Blue Cruise" product will be able to do it soon. There may be others, but those are the two that I'm familiar with.

I've also been observing a general trend of reviewers rating the performance of new vehicles based in part on how long it can go without nagging the user to hold the wheel. sigh

Quite a lot of milliseconds in fact. For a visual stimulus it is 1/4 of a second minimum. That's 22 feet at 50 mph.
