> Model Y also received a leading score of 98 percent in Euro NCAP's Safety Assist category. This result was achieved with Model Y vehicles equipped with Tesla Vision, our camera vision and neural net processing system that now comes standard in all Tesla vehicles delivered in North America and Europe. This score was a result that many did not believe was possible without using radar.
(own four Teslas of varying vintages, from 2018 to 2021, have driven over 120k miles on Autopilot)
You can look it up below just select Tesla as Make: https://www.euroncap.com/en/ratings-rewards/assisted-driving...
What you are referring to is safety rating, which nobody is disputing, however, it did not prove "vision" superior. The car is safe for sure but it wasn't because of vision but of structure.
You can confirm the transition did not have a material impact on Autopilot safety using their data: https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport
That and user driven lane change automation. (fully automatic lane changes for navigation or speed management is apparently in beta based on Tesla's online manual [1]).
IMHO, that's kind of the root of the problem. As individual features, it's not super exciting, but when you call it autopilot, people think it does more than it does (which is fairly true of airplane autopilot as well).

Hyundai would not be able to attempt to drive me home. While, you can get into a Tesla, enter an address and hope for the best.
Calling it autopilot is for sure part of the problem. The average individual is dumb and won’t ever open a manual or read any prompts. But then again they are there for legal reasons.
