> "when the software’s ready"

Ummmmmm...

So, what I really got out of the article, is GM and Cruise are now where Tesla has been for a little while, in that 1. They can install sensors on the assembly line that they think will enable level 5 autonomy and 2. They have a way to remotely update autonomy software on the cars.

The key statement being "sensors [...] that they think will enable level 5 autonomy." One or both of GM and Tesla could easily be wrong about that.

But you're completely right... it's like saying my Macbook is the world's first strong/general AI, once the software's ready.

Fine print: software will be ready in 2050.
