Adaptive cruise control's purpose is to let you not have to break just because your cruise control is set slightly too fast for the car in front of you.

It's not intended to be an autopilot. Just a better cruise control

Telsa is just hyping up the same shit that all automakers can do right now.

Tesla brands this feature exactly as 'Autopilot'.

Because Telsa wants to make you think its doing something that BWM isn't. But it's entirely sales puffery.
