It’s not like choosing a fridge, where there are 500 models available.

There are two autopilot systems commercially available today - Tesla Autopilot and Honda Sensing Driver Assistance. Two more are slated to be released - Cadillac SuperCruise and Audi Traffic Jam Pilot. The rest is an all-you-can-read buffet of press releases about some great tech this one company tested in this one lab (I hear Waymo is great, and Volvo’s is even better).

Pending Cadillac’s and Audi’s road tests in 2018, Tesla Autopilot v1 is the best driver assistance suite available commercially in 2017, even with all of the executive departures.

Subaru's eyesight is there since 2015. Afaik, Honda sensing and eyesight are very similar.

Test drove a 2015 Acura, took multiple corners on the freeway unassisted while pacing the cars in front. No clue how long they've had that technology. I'm sure there are more equally impressive cars/packages that we don't hear much about.

I looked at Honda's PR site for Honda Sensing Driver Assistance. Lane departure, forward collision warning, collision mitigation? So, in other words, everything my Golf has? Hell, the DSG Golfs will even go to a full stop on laser cruise. It takes a button press to get it to resume, but it's pretty damn close to non-steering autopilot (yes, it has lane keeping, but like most of these systems, it makes you take over after a few seconds of inattention).
