Yeah, what Tesla says, and what it has are very different.

I suspect Mercedes is being a bit conservative in there implementation, but ultimately realistic by limiting speeds and locations of the service to start.

They also may be limited by laws and insurance available in those locals.

I’m personally not concerned with what they say. I have FSD.

Is it “full self driving”? Absolutely not. Is it close? Also no.

Is it worth $15k. Again, no.

Is it really, sometimes freakishly good? Yes.

Would I rather have a system that operates at all speeds and conditions with driver supervision than one that only works on certain roads in certain states at certain speeds without supervision? Absolutely.

I’d rather be a pedestrian on the same road as the Mercedes than be a pedestrian within a mile of the Tesla
