I'm the author. I agree Tesla is miles ahead, but they're not offering the same product.

Comma is comfortably level 2 self driving, essentially lane keep. They don't detect red lights or stop signs, the don't have navigation or even maps. It just keeps you going in a straight line, with or without lane markings. It's much more comparable to something like Super Cruise.

My point was that lane keep assist technology exists as features in new cars. That's the target market and that's what comma should be benchmarked against. If you have a problem with comma's safety features you should have an even bigger issue with that of the large auto makers.
