Lane markings is always about vision system. The brand does not matter for this.

How you implement these systems matters. GM super-cruise (not to be confused with Cruise automation) uses HD mapping + GNSS + visual queues and could potentially do better due to having priors from the map. Tesla's approach that doesn't utilize a map is likely more susceptible.

GM super-cruise is the only system to work like this. (Available in exactly one model of car.)

Meanwhile there's ~10 other car manufacturers out there making lane-keeping systems that use cameras, and yet people only care about bashing on Tesla.

GM super-cruise is the best system out there right now and they are very modest in their claims. All these systems have problems.

Tesla is the one making the big claims and drawing attention to themselves. How many others are claiming full autonomy is just around the corner? They bring the publicly on themselves and can't have it both ways.
