Nissan LEAF Goes On 230-Mile Fully Autonomous Drive CleanTechnica

The subtitle "Nissan Beats Tesla To The Post?" definitely needs the question mark in it, as, with autonomous driving, there are too many unknowns to make any definite comparisons. Not all documentations of journeys are published, and we know Tesla and Waymo have millions or billions of miles of driving data tucked away. Also, who knows when the first truly autonomous vehicle will be generally available to be used by almost anyone, anywhere? All we can say for sure about the Nissan announcement of a 230 mile journey completed in November 2019 in an automated LEAF is that it is a record for length of an autonomous journey in the UK. It is also remarkable in that it was completed without human intervention, on all kinds of roads, including motorways (freeways) and ordinary rural roads with no markings.
