> auto-pilot feature

there is no such feature, there is a MobilEye _lane following_ system Tesla repackaged under Autopilot(TM) brand.

Say it out loud - lane following. Mercedes sold this same tech almost 10 years ago, difference is Tesla felt pressure and started believing their own marketing lies about autonomous driving.

They call it autopilot. Words mean things. That word creates an impression that it is more capable than it really is.

The hardware might be the same but the compute has evolved.
