Yeah, and automatic emergency braking is a clear-cut enough win for safety that there's been talk of making it mandatory on all new cars in a few years' time. Tesla seem to have adopted a deliberate strategy of conflating the safety benefits of an uncontroversial feature many cars have with the much more questionable safety of their autopilot mode in order to promote the latter. The big example Elon Musk was pushing of Autopilot preventing an accident and likely saving someone's life was the result of automatic emergency braking in conditions very far from those autopilot mode could be used in (heavy rain in an urban area at night, if I remember correctly).
Yes, this conflation has bother me as well. In the long term it's an absolute slam dunk to transition to autonomous vehicles, but I'm a bit worried that they're feeling they need to hide the most important numbers in 2018 in an attempt to avoid an irrational / unwise response from the public.
