I didn't realize so many of these companies are enabling these features with a monthly subscription model. I'm eyeing the market to buy a car in the next three years or so and that's definitely something to keep in mind - I want these features in my next car, but not enough to pay $75/mo for!
Not in Tesla's defence but an upfront cost is always preferable and will increase the resale value of the car at least... Which would be great if having FSD even netted you half of it's price and...

Which would be great if having FSD even netted you half of it's price and wasn't a goddamn beta product.
Tesla does offer a subscription version where they charge you $199USD last I checked though.
I get that this is likely due to required cell/internet connection for the system to function, because I assume a lot of the processing is handled by servers, but paying a subscription for...

If all of the tech and processing power is housed in the vehicle itself but they still charge you for it, I would resort to arson (or at least never ever buy from that company)

It was nice to have a single article that compares each of these systems (not that this is anywhere near the first), but it was certainly incomplete. The summary of the BMW section mentions its inability to adapt to changing speeds in a way that feels like it should have been addressed earlier in the article.
More importantly, it doesn't even mention that (to the best of my knowledge) Tesla FSD is the only system that will actually make turns for you and follow the programmed route. It specifies that it's the only system that can be used on any road anywhere, but doesn't discuss its implications, which I think is a pretty big deal and goes a long way to explaining the increase in price over competitors (although perhaps not all of the increase...and it's also less expensive than the Mercedes system).
Given that it left out this extremely important detail, especially when the initial question in the article's lede was "But which of these competing systems with aspirational names like Super Cruise and Full Self-Driving is best at making your commute easier?," I have to assume that it left out important details for all manufacturers. So then I have to ask what the point of the article was at all. There are plenty of high-level overviews of each system so what in this required any testing whatsoever? A quick glance at reddit comments would give you more information.

Good news, you can get Tesla's without a $75/mo subscription! It only costs $12,000, which comes out to $166/mo before interest, taxes, and fees!
