I thought the consensus was that Tesla is far behind, hence why Mercedes is the first brand to actually have some basic level 3 automomus driving actually to customers

Yeah that seems to be the consensus but I have no idea what it's based on. When the Mercedes system is put against FSD it looks like this. The level 3 driving is available only on a handful of highways between LA, SF and LV and even then only in ideal weather and traffic conditions.

If the competition really is ahead then where are all the videos of their vehicles doing what FSD does? There are countless accounts on YouTube demonstrating the capabilities of FSD driving both on highways and in cities but nothing about these other brands.

It's obviously based on other makers being ahead.

Mercedes, Waymo, GM, MobilEye, Nvidia are all ahead, making Tesla #6 at best.

When the Mercedes system is put against FSD it looks like this.

Are you misleading on purpose? Or are you really that dense?

Mercedes Calls their version of fully autonomous driving: Drive Pilot but you show a comparison to a way more basic Driving Assistant, which is nowhere close!

This comparison shows that Tesla FSD in reality is merely a drive assist.

Stated clearly in the very next sentence.

Always has been. That video compares drive assist to another. Apples to apples comparison. What exactly is the issue here?

Mercedes: Requirements to be used Legally.
Tesla: Not Legal unverified results.

Why don't you ask the experts that rather than a random lemming like me? And why don't you ask Elon why he keeps claiming it's capable of more than it actually is?

I honestly don't care enough about it to do research, but you seem to. And i'd just love for guys like Elon to stop lying about what they have.
