It seems biased. Tesla exaggerated claims feel scammy, but at least they have a product out there. None of these “leaders” have something you can test yourself.
That would say a lot more about Tesla's practices than about the ability of the others to deliver a product.
>encourages dangerous behavior by untrained testers on public roads
There are idiots everywhere. The functionality has been locked behind their driver safety score to ensure only responsible drivers can beta test. There's a delusion that it is dangerous based on the amount of press coverage any Tesla involved incident gets.
Do I trust that their car is better at driving than me? No. But is is better than most people on the road. I'd rather be driving near a Tesla than a Prius.

So says Elon. Yet he won't release disengagement data. Data speaks louder than blow hards.
* 90% won't kill your kid if 4ft+
* 70% won't kill your kid if 3.5-3.99ft
* 50% won't kill your kid if 3-3.49ft.
* All bets are off below 3ft.
Also make sure they are moving enough for the car to identify them, but not too fast for the car to be unable to react.
Make sure they wear high contrast clothing and it's not too dark (or too bright & glaring) out.
Elon has been loudly and repeatedly saying it's a year away for what, a decade?

Pretty sure that's no longer true.
A lot of what FSD does & doesn't support is left intentionally vague.
At various times the FSD product page, the car sales page, and what Musk tweeted were completely out of sync as to what mode does what.
Lots of people bought the car thinking it handled situations it very much did not, and have attempted to use it in unsupported ways.
For example - poll 10 Tesla users about Autopilot on non limited-access highways use and you will get 4 different answers. Then ask them about what objects Autosteer is capable of avoiding. LOL.
