> The best proof is that even with billions spent, the best contenders got marginal improvement over what Mercedes had in 1990 with discreet algorithms and no neural/fuzzy logic
Can you elaborate on that? I haven't found much on that, e.g. w.r.t. the Mercedes system handling other vehicles, pedestrians, street signs, unexpected situations (roadworks, children playing, etc.) - from what I was able to gather, the two systems aren't even remotely comparable.
Edit: Mercedes was able to go on a highway, follow the lane, and keep distance to the car in front. Claiming "the best contenders got marginal improvement" is heavily biased at best - it feels like an attempt to justify an outdated opinion, rather than having facts inform it.
