You can, yes, but marketing is very much a thing. The average person knows Tesla has self driving (to whatever extent), but not everyone knows a Honda Fit can drive itself. I sure didn’t.

Nissan Leaf, too. It's not great, but is good enough that I'm not scared to look away for a moment to change stations.
