Yes they had some form of lane keeping, but it was not anywhere close to the capabilities of AP when it came to handling curves even by 2016. That was why there was so much excitement for AP back when it came out.
Discussion: HW.4 Suite - Availability, retrofit, suitability etc.
And as per the point, none of them had released something like NOA, which was what NGP emulated. So I think you are agreeing that there are things of value that would be very useful to XPeng back in 2018.

I sincerely hope there wasn't a passenger in the vehicle at the time. Can you imagine how terrifying that would be?
Given they had a hammer ready, and wore a full face mask, I can only assume it was a planned act of vandalism.
They freeze whenever there is someone very near it, for fear of injuring or killing the pedestrian. The liability, costs, and negative PR would be drastically higher if that happened versus even the entire car being totalled.

At this point, it's clear they also just freeze during any period of uncertainty, and await commands from remote operators.
AI model speeds up high-resolution computer vision
An autonomous vehicle must rapidly and accurately recognize objects that it encounters, from an idling delivery truck parked at the corner to a cyclist whizzing toward an approaching intersection.
Huawei announced that ADS 2.0 which will be released in December will now support all cities in the entire country and not just 45 cities.
This will make the Tesla FSD Beta and Huawei ADS 2.0 comparison videos even more interesting.

How is Tesla in that list? They don't have an AV, and have gone to great lengths to let people know they are not autonomous.

I imagine Tesla is on the list because they aspire to deploy AVs and are obviously working towards that goal with FSD beta.
And their aspirations beat Zoox and nVidia? That article lost all credibility.

Don't be so quick to dismiss the ranking. It really depends on how you weight the different metrics. Zoox has driverless but it is only a few of their custom pod vehicles that only drive a 2 mile loop on their HQ campus and is only for employees so far. Tesla does not have driverless but they have 100,000s of vehicles using FSD beta with supervision everywhere in the US. And FSD beta is improving and, at least in theory could eventually become "eyes off" if the intervention rate gets good enough. So which is better? 4 driverless pods that only drive on a 2 mile loop with employees or 600k cars with self-driving that but requires driver supervision? I would put Tesla ahead of Zoox since the Zoox driverless is so limited. Zoox has not shown any ability to scale whatsoever. At least Tesla is testing FSD beta at scale, even if the software is not "eyes off" yet. And AFAIK, Nvidia does not have any AV deployments at all, they just have hardware and simulations and ADAS in some cars. So I would put Tesla which is testing FSD beta on 600k cars ahead of Nvidia.
