> no car manufacturer ships cars equipped with LIDAR
For love of the god, please do not comment in the public if you do not understand the subject. Take a look at Chrysler + waymo minivans, Volvo + Uber suvs, Mercedes self-driving test cars. They all have lidars.
Sorry, but you did not get the point op was making. None of those you mentioned are production cars like the Tesla, they are test mules. The point of op is correct, he/she is not talking about modded research cars.
But no other company is selling the promise of an autopilot car. For example, Audi is expected to launch renewed Audi A8 this year with Level 3 autonomous driving but it's called "Traffic Jam Pilot". Level 2 was called "Traffic Jam Assist".

None of which are production vehicles being shipped from manufacturers. They are test vehicles, nothing more.
For the love of god, stop the hyperbole, and try to understand the comments you are answering better.
See how condescending this is?

I think that's good advice, very often applicable, even on HN.
Sometimes, s/even/especially/.
