Yeah this isn’t beating Tesla to anything.

If you constrain a system to where it’s effectively useless and declare victory, that’s worse than trying to actually solve the problem and saying you’re not there yet.

It’s lowering the goal precipitously until you can achieve and then pretending you did it. Tesla has flaws, but this is a dumb article.

They beat Tesla to being certified in California as Level 3, with restrictions.

anything that matters (which was implied by the rest of my comment)

They can check a box and make this press release though, I guess that’s worth something.

It means the headline is not wrong.

You're also kind of walking a fine line on the "No True Scotsman" concept...
