I guess at least with Tesla you get a free software update. No need to buy a new car.
Except for when HW3 comes out. Just ask HW1.

My take: You will never ever be able to describe every situation that you may have with that car on a street. Its just not realistic to assume that. In other words the car would not know what to do if a new situation appears that has not been thought through. Having said that I believe the Audis A8 is fundamentally less secure than the approach from Tesla and will be in the future. The approach makes me very uncomfortable going above L2 with Audi..
How is this different from anyone's take?
Nobody does NN driving thus far, everyone has an algorithm.
Apologize that I don't describe it here now but am happy to do it at a later point in time unless someone else want to jump in.
I've heard that song before...
Pending validation and regulatory approval, you say?
Catchy lyrics, aren't they?
To everyone complaining level 3 only works up to 60km/h as expected Audi also has a pretty good level 2 active lane keeping assist system.
Seems to work pretty well. I'm not sure how much the driver actively steers in some cases or if he just reacts to the warning if he is still there (every time that long text flashes up). Definitely does not let you drive without your hands on the wheel as long as Autopilot, but also seems to depend on the conditions: tight corner vs. Autobahn. Also slows down in if there is a corner ahead and stuff like that.
Hard to see what the driver is doing on the steering wheel but having tested the Audi Lane Assist on the brand new Audi A4 (new version) of a friend, it is just IMPOSSIBLE to use if you are not steering yourself.
The car does not stop bouncing left and right of the lane and it is really just a safety system to prevent drifting from the lane but you have to steer yourself as the car will not stay in the middle of the road by itself.
So I don't know what this Audi A8 is using but the system used in the A6 and A4 currently is not at all remotely close to "self driving" on the highway.
Until the M3I will wager the systems are different between a8 and the rest of the a#. It's a frustrating thing and whenever some one claim they have a good autopilot implementation, best look at the overall car price tag. Except for pro pilot on Nissan (which is still coming), no one has a working auto pilot on a car under$65-70k.
Agree except on this point: I would argue that making a demo is hardly a proof that "it works" in all conditions. Heck, Tesla also has a video of autonomous driving but we all know that, yet, there are still not ready.For Audi, the first to do piloting in a wide range of speeds will be the Level 4 highway system in a year or two. They've already demonstrated that too, so clearly it works,

Is there more info on this? I've missed this.Nissan has a level 4 system that has been demonstrated to journalists many times, and seems pretty much ready and in the manufacturing and regulatory stage.
Indeed, they are saying 2020 for it to ship, so they might actually beat Tesla to it.
Still just a demo.Is there more info on this? I've missed this.

Can't buy one.
Hype until then.
