You put FSD last by blaming it for things that other cars can't do. You should have tested everything on the freeway, otherwise it makes no sense. It's clear that FSD is on another level and you put it at the end.
@bigdougscommentary5719
I currently have FSD Beta that has incorporated Autopilot into one software package. My son lives 50 miles away and the car routinely drives me to and from his house with absolutely no interventions. City streets, highway, interchange transitions, doesn’t matter.

Like everybody else said, Tesla FSD absolutely is hands free and you do not have to keep your hands on the wheel. As long as the interior camera can see your face and you aren't playing with your cell phone you do not have to touch the wheel. Even if it can't see your face you don't have to always keep your hands on the wheel. I will occasionally ask you to apply pressure to the wheel if it thinks you aren't paying attention. I've let my Tesla drive me for hundreds of miles at a time without touching the wheel, including cities with heavy traffic. It's easily the best autopilot currently available.
@George_Shonia
It's would be much better if all this tests were done by same driver, because he would point out the differences he noticed.
@bigdougscommentary5719
Been using Tesla’s Autopilot since 20 minutes after I picked up my 2018 Model 3 in Fremont, CA. Used it for cross country trips since then. Perfectly satisfied with my choice.

I just bought a tesla with fsd. Newest update is hands free. It drove me home 45 miles through interstates, Rural highways, and neighborhoods. It navigated through construction zones with lane closures, parked itself in a parking lot, changed lanes to allow a tailgater to pass, changed lanes to allow another vehicle to merge safely, went through roundabouts, acknowledged and protected pedestrians, chose intelligent positioning when painted lines dissapeared in the lane... the list goes on. And your settings/preferences can be dialed in to a T. Oh, and it did all of this at night.
@Nickulous64
You guys should try this again today. Tesla FSD is now full hands free. Just drove from AZ through UT, CO and back down through NM without touching the steering wheel or peddles. From driveway to driveway. Through rain, unpaved roads, highways, construction zones, parking lots… the car drives itself. No other car here can do that. All the others are highway only and only on mapped roads.
@shaneruljancich6360
ya, can't see how the Tesla was placed 4th when it did things none of the other could and did better on the highway as well. Pretty arbitrary to say its not hands free because you have to touch the wheel. Would the ranking be different if you call it best Driver Assistance?
@ninzaa12
Wow, there really are 2 ways to look at this, as a driver assistance package and hands free driving. Agreed model y doesnt have full hands free unlike the others but isnt it superior tech as you mentioned in every driving circumstances on the highway? Would you ding the system because you gotta keep a hand on it ?? (You dont beed 2 hands at 9 and 3, just one hand at 6 works too) Also Autopilot is free with all Teslas that you fail to mention whereas in all the others you have to pay for an assistence package. Autopilot does lane and maintenance the lane like the others. Which by default mkaes the tesla a better bang for the buck.

Although I have a bmw I can’t believe why this test did not put the Tesla tops
@djand77
We have a subscription to FSD and it takes a little bit to get used to how it does things. For example, the intersection at 19:38 you can control when it starts across by giving some throttle. FSD takes throttle and turn signal inputs without ending the driving session. Also, you only have to kep one hand on the wheel, and not even constantly. I often just use the volume scroll wheel to let it know that I'm paying attention.
@glenf4115
Correction. At 7:53 the BMW system is NOT for the entire life of the car. On an X5 for example is $5,300 for 8 years of Highway Assistant. After 8 years from vehicle sale the system is deactivated. It includes: Parking Assistance, Premium Package and Drivers Assistance Professional Package. The Fine Print from BMW USA: Included in this package is the Highway Assistant feature which is provided for the first 8 years after vehicle sale. The feature will disable after that time. HA can be used only on controlled access highways. Not available in Alaska, Guam, Puerto Rico or Hawaii. Weather, traffic, road conditions, availability of high definition map data and other factors may affect performance. HA helps drivers with the driving tasks but is not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Drivers must always pay attention to vehicle alerts, warnings, road condition, road objects, other drivers, pedestrians and take corrective action if required. Failure to pay attention and use proper care may result in injury, death or damage to property. Use of HA may not be permissible in certain states. Please refer to your owner’s manual or contact your local BMW center for more information.
@mstreich
Do wish you would do these tests in a mixture of day, night, sun, rain.
@JRT-z5o
Just so there's no confusion about the cost of Tesla's software: Autopilot for highways is included in the price of the car. Enhanced Autopilot is $6k. FSD is $12K. You can also use Autopilot on city streets if you like, but it will not be nearly as good as FSD. Nor as "comfortable". Normal Autopilot will also not do turns; etc.
@dexagalapagos
I have a Tesla FSD and it's by far the best self-driving system out there right now. I just wish other companies licensed Tesla's self driving so I could get a nicer car. I don't much like Teslas as cars, but the FSD is nothing short of amazing. FSD + Cadillac's camera based attention monitoring would be an amazing combo.
@mt2nv1
Oh, Edmunds… the comments say it all.
@stephengneri2136
to be honest, I was stunned about how truthful you all were. very well done. knowledge is power. thank god I dont have to endure the 405.
@nimasahabi9421
I don't want to sound like a Tesla fanboy but Tesla FSD really is worlds ahead of the competition and that's without V12.
@joshuaportinga187
I currently use Tesla FSD. Technically you need to keep your hands on the wheel (for legal reasons they have to say this). However in practice I never keep my hands on the wheel (especially on freeways). I just flick the volume switch on the wheel when it nags. Surface streets are waaaay more challenging than freeways which is why no other system even attempts to do surface streets.
