This is definitely interesting, and it is completely possible that in some situations other manufacturers might have the upper hand.
They did test it on autopilot though, right? It says "standard" on Model 3. AFAIK autopilot features are not standard, it's an option you have to buy on Tesla. I also can't find anywhere in the report whether the car was actually driving on autopilot or not. All of these details I think make a big difference. A standard non-autopilot-equipped model 3 might just be subpar to other cars, it would not surprise me.
