TESLA MODEL 3 - PILOT ASSIST VS AUTOPILOT

EV Channels Review

This video compares Volvo's Pilot Assist with Tesla's Autopilot, using a 2020 Volvo XC60 (front-wheel drive, without the luxury package) and a Tesla Model 3. The reviewer found both systems capable of keeping the car centered on a 12-mile route with construction. However, the Volvo's Pilot Assist handled lane changes more smoothly, resuming immediately after the maneuver. In contrast, Tesla's Autopilot disengages upon lane change unless the advanced package is purchased. The Volvo's Pilot Assist is part of a $2,500 advanced package, while Tesla's Autopilot ranges from $2,000 to $3,000 (or is included in newer models). A key advantage for Tesla is its continuous software improvement, whereas the Volvo system is static. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes that Tesla's Autopilot is the superior choice due to its ongoing development and features.
