I've seen this headline a few times and the details are laughably bad. The only reason this can be getting any press is because the headline is good clickbait. But 40 mph top speed on approved roads in 2 states only if a car is in front of you in the daytime is entirely useless. I guess it's a good first step maybe? But trying to write headlines like this is big news is sad.

The reason this gets attention is because it's the first level 3 sold to consumers.

The tech is hard, of course it's gonna start out with laughingly limited capabilities. But it's the first step towards more automation.
