What are you saying? Tesla does just fine in traffic, you hit a button on the steering wheel every minute or so to show you are paying attention to the road and that’s it. You are still looking at the road, the readout showing the mapping of what it sees to the real world.

Tesla’s do great in traffic.

The whole point of this discussion is that "Oh, it does great in practice" is a highly misleading metric - it tells us nothing about how the system might 'fail' in a worst-case scenario. That's the whole point of having these "levels" - and Tesla is still not claiming anything higher than Level-2 for their existing EAP.

Right, so you still sit in the driver seat watching the road. Still beats switching back and forth between gas and break, and constantly holding the wheel.
