> Software isn't that special and some companies far eclipse it e.g. Volvo Polestar 2.

I have actually not seen a working prototype of this software. All videos I have seen just show a dummy screen with nobody actually using it. Do you have a source you could post that explains how this software far eclipses the Tesla software?

> Autopilot is a death trap so no advantage there.

Could you explain this more? All data I have seen shows Autopilot is much safer than a human driver.

This is why I get annoyed when somebody argues that Tesla doesn't do false marketing. Why would this guy think that autopilot is safer than a human driver, when they aren't even comparable. Why would you compare an assistance system to a human. Isn't that done to imply that autopilot is actually driverless?

Apparently it annoys you even if nobody says it.
