They could defend the public's perception of autonomous vehicles in general by not rushing to market a beta that is less technically capable then other autonomous systems being worked on by their competitors.

Are you saying that just based on the fact that they've been developing it for less time than Google, or is there a more in depth case for that somewhere? I would be very interested to read about that if there is.

1. Tesla makes it clear that Autopilot is a beta.

2. From the rest of this thread, it sounds like their long-range cameras/radar has very limited FOV.

The "white truck against the bright sky" seems to imply that the exposure depth and dynamic range of the camera may also have played a role.
