Not so sure about that. I mean vw is an actual car company so in that aspect they will easily deliver a superior product but i read nothing about the technology that's gonna make it happen. Tesla's can do quite a lot quite well already compared to any other commercially available car and vw is (like the rest of the European car industry) years behind on the software required to achieve real autonomous driving. I mean i'd really like this to succeed but wouldn't call it a low bar.

I think the most interesting thing was that they were going to try level 4 on selected roads in what sounds like rural Germany as well as LA. Perhaps after these training roads they'll havemore confidence to push the product further

I also love how streets ahead has somehow survived Pierce from community
