Autopilot comparison: Tesla’s level-2 Vs. Honda’s level-3 driver assist
TwitterWhatsappLinkedin

Tesla Autopilot is categorized as a level-2 driver assistance system. However, other automakers are released their autopilot system which is a level-3 driver-assist system. While Tesla is known to be ahead of other automakers, technically it is often considered behind in self-driving cars. A clear comparison shows that it is not the case, and there is a big tech difference between the systems. Hona released its autopilot sedan at $102,000 which is at level-3.

Before comparing it with Tesla Autopilot, here are some details about the level 3 details released by Honda.

  • Hands-off approach: the driver can watch video while driving
  • travels hands-off at less than 50km/hr
  • Can accelerate, brake, and steer
  • Uses data from high-definition maps and external sensors
  • 10 million test drives on a simulated environment
  • Available only for 100 cars on lease

While Honda’s autopilot is advanced in some aspects, it is still a car that is tested on simulated conditions. So the Japanese government allowed the car to go slower than 60 km/hr. It is known that the autonomous system is far behind in making it available to the public.

Here’s how Honda Traffic Jam Pilot works

Tesla being a level-2 autonomous system uses advanced technology like AI. They have data from all over the world from their 500,000 cars. Also, the FSD Beta was tested by some Tesla owners itself earlier. The driver’s assist is not advanced yet as the driver cannot drive without paying attention. The remarkable aspect is the practicality of using Tesla’s autopilot. Many Tesla users in the US are eligible to use the software by paying on a monthly basis. Their development over years is based on “imitation learning”. Unlike other automakers using advanced technology in hardware, Tesla is working on using advanced technology in software. Their AI merge with the hardware is yet to be developed, before the implementation itself, the car is level-2.

A driver may find Honda’s autopilot easier and comfortable to drive with. However, the recent update of Tesla autopilot shows otherwise. Other than being practical, the car is safer than any other autopilot. This is why regular Tesla car owners with Hardware 3.0 updates can use autopilot.

Despite being just a level-2 driver assist, the autopilot is safest and much practical. In comparison with overall features, Honda wins the race as many drivers like the Youtuber, The Comparision Channel pointed out that Tesla is Tesla. But Honda is smooth and eases the driving for them, which is the whole point of having a driver assist system.

Dodge Pauses Entry-Level Charger Daytona R/T for 2026 Amid Shifting Market and Tariff Pressures

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will not be part of the 2026 model year lineup, according to Dodge CEO Matt McAlear. While Dodge hasn’t completely ruled out the trim’s return in the future, the automaker has officially postponed its production for now. The reason? A combination of market shifts and uncertainties surrounding U.S. tariff policies. "Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies,” McAlear said in a statement to Motor1. Instead, Dodge will sharpen its focus on high-performance offerings, like the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, and upcoming internal combustion alternatives. Scat Pack Takes Center Stage With the R/T trim off the table, the Daytona Scat Pack now becomes the sole all-electric Charger variant available for 2026. And it’s no slouch. Delivering 670 horsepower from its dual-motor setup, the Scat Pack is targeting mid-11-second quarter-mile times. However, the performance comes at the cost of range, 241 miles per the EPA estimate, a step down from the R/T’s 308 miles. That boost in performance also brings a steeper price tag. The Scat Pack will sit around $60,000 after factoring in the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. In contrast, the now-shelved R/T was expected to be a more accessible entry point to the electric muscle segment, slipping in under $50,000 with the same tax break. Lagging Sales, Overstuffed Lots Market data supports Dodge’s decision. Charger sales fell by a staggering 54 percent in 2024. The first-quarter sales of electric Chargers in 2025 totaled just 1,947 units, a mix of both R/T and Scat Pack trims. Meanwhile, Mopar Insiders reported that approximately 3,500 R/T units are still sitting unsold in dealer inventories. This lukewarm reception has highlighted a broader issue: despite the impressive specs, the brand’s electric offerings haven’t captured the hearts of traditional Dodge enthusiasts, many of whom remain loyal to internal combustion. The Sixpack Rises To address this, Dodge is introducing a new four-door variant, the Charger Sixpack, aimed at muscle fans not quite ready to embrace electrification. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, the Sixpack will be available in both standard-output (420 hp) and high-output (550 hp) trims. Though exact pricing hasn’t been revealed, it's expected to slot in around the price point previously held by the R/T. The new platform, STLA Large, is designed to support both EVs and ICE models, giving Dodge flexibility to pivot as demand dictates. Looking Ahead While the Charger Daytona R/T may be gone for now, its future isn’t completely off the table. Dodge is keeping a close eye on market dynamics, government policies, and consumer behavior as it fine-tunes its approach. With the Scat Pack holding the electric torch and the Six Pack catering to combustion purists, Dodge’s strategy appears focused on streamlining its offerings while covering both sides of the propulsion spectrum. As more details about the 2026 Charger lineup emerge, muscle car fans and industry watchers alike will be paying close attention. The muscle car isn’t dead, it’s just adapting.
