Tesla "will be there in a year" since... 2016 or so? (Musk said in January that he is confident Tesla will achieve Level 5 autonomy in 2021, looking forward to that)

> those Teslas haven't been hitting anyone in slow traffic jams on well-maintained limited access highways either.

weird then that Tesla, despite showman Musk at the helm, hasn't been doing the simple stunt of putting their money where their mouth is, getting L3 permission for their system and actually taking the risk for something that is "never happening" instead of finding ways of blaming the driver every time. It would be an easy way of providing an additional actual useful capability to their users on top of what they already have.

No, it's not some massive technical leap, but "ok, we'll take the blame for our system failing" is still a big legal step.
