The Tesla Autopilot just barely beats out Super Cruise in terms of features and performance.
But Super Cruise absolutely blows Autopilot out of the water on safety. It's not even close.
And so, objectively, Super Cruise won.
Tesla barely bests GM and co on capabilities: 9/10 vs 8/10
But then loses on one of the most important features to ensure people aren't killed by what should be safety features: 3/10 (!) vs 7/10
Nothing misleading about it, it's a reflection of the fact GM isn't going for flashiness over function.
A comment above yours is bragging about party tricks like taking an on ramp, but being able to ensure the driver is attentive for the bulk of the trip that is highway is going a longer way for driver safety than being able to beta test non-self-driving "full self driving" on public roads at the expense of everyone else on the road

In other words, Autopilot was 2-3x worse than not using Autopilot at all.
In terms of comparing Teslas to the entire US automobile market, they're including luxury cars versus every other type of vehicle, including big rigs, and car models spread over several decades. Of course Tesla is going to be safer than older cars; NHTSA regulations require that.
Notably, Tesla refuses to release comparisons of Tesla to cars of similar age or type. You know why? Because their competitors have the same low accident statistics as Teslas driven without Autopilot or "safety" features enabled, and admitting that would kill Tesla's safety marketing claims for Autopilot.
It's obscene that Tesla is still allowed to pull this bullshit. They've already killed several people, and I hope that their recklessness catches up with them before more die. Their approach is transparently negligent and incredibly dangerous, which is immediately obvious to anyone who knows anything about machine learning.
Musk and co should be serving time for manslaughter
Tesla has more Autopilot-related fatalities than the entire rest of the industry does for their self-driving or advanced cruise features combined.
And to date, Tesla is still the only car manufacturer whose self-driving system can't tell the difference between the sky and a gigantic semi trailer.
wow, just wow. that is just as contrived as can be.
as for amount of torque required to deactivate the self driving it not a lot and why would you assume you want the car to retake control immediately afterward? If I took control I want control till I state otherwise. I don't want to suddenly find the car off doing what it wants after I disengaged it through a method they defined as will turn it off.
So no, I do not agree with their safety assessment because the majority ignores the fact that it was designed to drive in those conditions and not require rigidly mapped roads to operate. There is no real point in self driving system that requires perfection in roads and markings.
Hell the scariest part about Tesla's FSD is how well it does work, it makes you wonder why so many cannot get even part way there.
Is it perfect, not on your life. However it is damn better than CR implies and the only real danger is some people might trust it too much regardless how much Tesla says not to. Well guess what, they do that will all LKA and even super cruise.
The same sentiment is for critical systems in a car: them working when they should not work is not an amazing feat of engineering but a defect.
"We assume these systems need full driver attention as their only important baseline, and regardless of how they perform, score them on that assumption."
There is no way Cadillac can take an on-ramp to a highway, safely change lanes for an exit and take the exit without drama, but my Model 3 does that very nicely right now.
it might be like comparing an iphone to an android phone. a review at the time of release vs a review 3 years later might show different results if one keeps updating the software and the other stops.
where?
> They just don't like the amount of freedom tesla's system gives the driver while supercruise forces the driver to stare straight ahead the entire time.
That's L2 sir. L2.
