I'm no expert on any of the selfdriving features (I still self-drive my 1984 Volkswagen with tlc) but from what I hear and see, Tesla is amongst the worst when it comes to selfdriving and e.g. Volvo or Volkwagen is way ahead.

Their marketing, however, is top notch, so whenever Tesla fails to deliver, people conclude that 'all selfdriving must be crap'.

Is there something called 'Law of inhibiting leadership'? In which an underperforming leader of a segment holds back the entire segment?

As an owner of a Volvo V90 that has pilot assist or whatever they call it - it's great for highway driving!

It has it's quirks but they are easy to get used to and after a few years, I know pretty much exactly where it is extremely reliable and where it will get it wrong.

The behaviour is extremely boringly reliable - which is exactly what it should be and doing a few hundrer km on a good highway is now much much more relaxing than before.
