My final post on this. By the video's own admission, Co-Pilot is a L2 ADAS. Levandowski replicated Autopilot and did a coast to coast trip, all highway driving, with no driver disengagements which he used to great marketing affect. Fine. It is certainly impressive what Levandowski was able to do given his limited resources. But he did not achieve full self-driving. He just created AP that works extremely well on highways. To argue that Co-Pilot is anything more than L2 is just factually incorrect. Of course,
@Bladerskb takes things a step further and wants to argue that the video is proof that Tesla is "far behind" and wants to bash Tesla fans for it. But that's entirely subjective. I don't agree that Tesla is "far behind" and I've given my reasons why.
EAP and NOA aim to be something more than Co-Pilot. It is trying to push beyond L2 and eventually give us true self-driving not just on highways but on all roads. Is it there yet? Of course not. And yes, NOA has some problems but that's going to be true in any development of a new product, especially one that is trying to push the envelope so far. NOA will get better. Tesla is making progress one step at a time. Naysayers like
@Bladerskb love to point to Tesla not meeting goals on a certain timetable. "NOA was supposed to be L3 and it's not! See Tesla failed again!" But I for one, prefer to focus on Tesla's progress. And I prefer to enjoy the good that my car provides to me NOW and look forward to what my car will do in the future.
