They’re taking legal liability when you are driving a straight line on selected freeways going less than 40mph and with a car in front of you to follow during the day. This doesn’t demonstrate advanced capability, just limited scope.

Tesla’s system is purportedly far more advanced — do you believe that they could offer the same safety promises and legal protection for that limited scope if they wanted to?

(leaving aside for the moment, why they wouldn’t want to)

I’m not sure, I think it’s technically feasable given the current state, I expect that scope has pretty good safety numbers on current software, since it’s such a narrow scope.

But they would probably want to do all kinds of extra training and validation and fine tuning on it first rather than just blast out the current version.

Does no one read the article? They're going to bump up the speed limit to 85kmph (52mph for the metric-impaired).

And I actually believe Mercedes Benz, you know, the inventors of the automobile, to deliver.
