BMW, Mercedes, GM, and other makes all make vehicles that drive and change lanes automatically on the highway.
The FSD Beta software is also different than the standard autopilot lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control system. It’s labeled as a Beta for a reason. Drivers must opt-in to the beta and agree to be alert and responsive. Tesla won’t even offer the Beta to you unless you exhibit safe driving behaviors.
Whether or not beta software should be on the roads at all is still a valid question. I think Tesla would make the argument that no software will be sufficiently refined until it is tested by a huge variation of real world conditions. Opponents of Tesla will argue that this software isn’t tested enough to release to even a small section of the general public.

Letting a Telsa thing self drive at over 100kph is actually kind of wild.
