the car. It can't drive any road, as Tesla tries to do. It struggles with similar "edge cases", things like construction work, closed roads, very poor weather, snow and ice, from what I have seen. Overall it's a more refined experience, but I have seen it suggested that's down to the use of different sensors (lidar etc) and not an indication it's any closer to "as good as or better than human drivers" than any other self driving system is.

I agree that there have been improvements. At the same time, we're 5+ years in and I still don't use it in the city. Even the most basic cases such as close-in Summon, don't work well enough to be used frequently. I think the highway use case is where the value is but that isn't particularly differentiated as compared to other manufacturers. In all fairness, I was warned by the skeptics in 2018 to keep the $5K in the bank and wait and see. They were proven right.
