If you removed Tesla from the equation, Level 4 autonomy would be half a decade away... it's pretty sad how far behind the industry is from this perennially cash strapped upstart.
Elon's claims notwithstanding, Tesla may actually be half a decade away from L4.

Maybe they are just trying to not over-promise and under-deliver?
This is simply untrue. Volvo will have a release this year.
The notion that Tesla are the only ones innovating because they're the only ones using the public as guinea pigs is hogwash. Mobileye, Tesla's original self driving technology, isn't even part of Tesla. They have other clients.
