Our 2014 BMW i3 has Mobileye and it reads street speed limit signs, the only thing missing from Autopilot. Promised on Elon-time, it will complete the last key requirement. Ford chose a good product and I can see a real, running contest between Tesla and MagicEye.

Bob: Are you checking if we are all paying attention to you Your title through me for a loop. Mobileye may have a MagicEye but the company is Mobileye, which is owned by Intel Intel wants to actually go away from Mobileye being a hardware/software/systems provider to a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) On 29 October 2018, Intel, Mobileye's parent company, released plans to commercialize Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) in Israel.[18] In the press briefing, Volkswagen Group was announced as the automobile supplier, with Mobileye implementing self-driving capabilities and Israeli car distributor Champion Motors providing fleet support and operations. Intel specified a program launch in early 2019, with a timeline to commercial availability by 2022.[19] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobileye
Sorry about the name screw-up. I will cut-and-paste "Mobileye" 100 times. <grins> I've reported myself to the moderator begging to at least correct the title. The body, not so much. After all, a sufficiently advanced technology will appear to be magic to less sophisticated people. Bob Wilson
