Other car makers won't take autopilot beyond self-park for good reason.

Mercedes offers level 3, which is fully hands off, and they take full responsibility for accidents that happen while the system is engaged. Ford and GM also have systems that are on par with Tesla and likely have better safety measures.

It's not that Tesla's technology is so much better, other makers are just more responsible about liability.

Definitely agree with this. Tesla just cuts corners.
