Porsche has some new electric concept that they're showing at the new Munich show next month.

Sandy Munro has driven just about everyone's self driving software (including Audi), and called them "crap" compared to Tesla. If Audi's system is so great, where is it? Why isn't anyone talking about it? It's hard to find more than a handful of old articles about it. Audi bailed on their own system because they tried and failed. It's essentially useless. Get a clue.
You're the only one talking about levels. Tesla never stated "we aspire to be level 3, then 4...". That's not their path, it never was.
Name another system that can change lanes, stop for lights and signs, anticipate the actions of other drivers and pedestrians, navigate intersections, detect road texture and speed bumps. I'll be waiting.
I'm the one talking about levels because I know wtf I'm talking about. Tesla prefers to remain vague because it likes to promote that aura of untouchable advancement for which suckers like you continue to fall. But when pressed by actual gov regulators, Tesla goes ahead and quantifies using those very same numbers. We'll, one recurring number, at least: 2.
Meanwhile, fanboy suckers (you) quote Tesla adverts, repeating buzzwords like "fully autonomous" vehicles, without really knowing wtf you're actually talking about. It's right in the Tesla name - Full Self Driving, which means Level 5, take a nap and never touch a steering wheel (if there's one even there) unless you want to impress friends and chicks with your old school driving skills. At minimum, it's Level 4 ...still a far cry from where Tesla's at.
As was already discussed light years ago, Audi canceled its system because of regulatory/legal hurdles unique to Level 3. That doesn't negate the fact that it actually developed it, complete with journo testing, years ago. That alone disproves your silly contention that Tesla has an insurmountable lead in autonomous driving. The fact that Tesla pushes out half-baked beta software and crowd-sources testing doesn't actually mean it's ahead of those that do their testing the right way ...just more public, in true Tesla "look at me ...please!?" style.
Get Musk's pubes out of your eyes and look at the rest of the market. For every Sandy Munro, there are multiple experts who prefer other brands' (actual tested, non-beta production-grade) autonomy tech. Meanwhile their "beta" is in non-public prototype testing, just like tech from suppliers and startups the world over, which the world doesn't read about until they get bought out and rolled into someone else's package, and you personally only read about if it's Tesla doing the buying.
Tesla has no discernable lead, let alone a huge, widening gap. Don't be a rube.
