Which ones? I don't mean just staying in your lane. The car I was in stopped at a red light (technically just following the car in front of it, which also stopped). Though I haven't researched the history of this feature.


Following distance aware cruise control came on the scene in 1999.

Collision avoidance systems similarly have a long history.

As I understand it, Tesla Autopilot is a collection of these ordinary luxury car features (lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, environment sensing/prediction and collision avoidance, integrated navigation) that with branding that recognizes them for what they are: the foundation of self-driving technology.


At least the Volvo V40 has that. And it's not a luxury car :)
