They paid $10,000 for intelligent cruise control which comes on a Toyota Camry and other cars at no additional cost.

Actually, it's the opposite.

Autopilot comes for free with Tesla.

I don't know of any car that gives Autopilot-like functionality for free. I'm certain BMW doesn't, I'm certain GM's Blue Cruise and Ford's Co-Pilot is a paid add on.

FSD provides functionality that isn't available on any car you can buy.

Specifically the $10k pays for:

- Navigate on Autopilot

- Auto Lane Change

- Autopark

- Summon

- Full Self-Driving Computer

- Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control

Those are FSD feature that are fully released.

The beta adds autosteer on city streets.

The functionality you mention isn't available on the Tesla either, like full self-driving computer, since it's not full self driving.

Navigate on autopilot I dont know what that means.

Self parking is available on other cars, Volkswagen, Audi, and more. Even the base Prius practically parks itself.

Traffic light and stop sign: what's the point of this if you have to maintain awareness anyway since it's not really full self driving?

Navigate on autopilot = FSD for highways. It's actually pretty useful in a new city etc and trying to navigate on highways

And yet no one else is even close, or trying very hard.

That's absolute nonsense.

Lots of other people have various levels of automation working reasonably well. None of them have the absolute hubris to sell it as "full self driving" before it's any of those things.

Waymo is doing a decent job of navigating, slowly but reasonably safely, around an insanely well mapped and limited region.

GM's Cruise products seem reasonable enough, from what I've read. They're limited to limited access highways, have some good driver attention monitoring to make sure the human is paying attention, and seem to limit the regions to "that which they have high confidence they can actually do."

Tesla, if you listen to their own hype, makes things that resemble SAE Level 5 claims, except they deliver remarkably little of it. Having charged obscenely for it in the process.

Your claim has absolutely nothing to do with the reality outside Tesla's bubble of their own making. Except, they've chosen an approach that seems more and more unlikely to actually work.

Let me know how BlueCruise works when the highway changes, because its all pre-mapped and will shit the bed.

Sorry what?
