The anti-Tesla media bias continues. Motor Trend published a very detailed comparison of Autopilot vs 2016 MBZ Drive Pilot vs Hyundai vs Cadillac. It's actually a very detailed and interesting piece - I recommend the read.
However the most dramatic test result is their comparison of the cars' steering accuracy on a winding two lane road with poor lane markings, shadows, etc. The results humiliate Mercedes - but they are published at the very end of a very long piece with no accompanying comment.
But of course MBZ advertises, don't they? So does Cadillac - which was included in the comparison drive for no other reason than some future version will have GM's Super Cruise - even though this one doesn't. Can't piss of GM too much can we?
The photo is a graph of the number of times testers had to touch the steering wheel when the cars "began to cross the lane markings, or we became nervous."
The fact that Tesla creamed the other cars on the most demanding section of the entire test is never mentioned once in words in the entire article - it's left for careful readers to discover at the very end, literally the last graph in the last comparison.
