| Yeah, there are significant limitations to camera based systems. Although for Mercedes, I'd argue it's significantly more than: >'follow the car in front and do what it does' which is describing adaptive cruise control/radar based cruise control which has been on the market in vehicles for over two decades. >Tesla's software does not have those limitations Recklessly enabling a half baked vision only autopilot doesn't mean it's "superior". There's a reason actual self driving car companies (Cruise, Waymo, etc) report disengagements per mile as a means to show how "self driving" their vehicles actually are. Until Tesla self-reports this data, it's nothing but a toy, and I wish folks the best who actually trust their life with it.

Autopilot is not an autonomous driving technology, but the new numbers suggest people are treating it that way, sometimes resulting in tragedy.
