There are several tangible benefits if you drive near a lot of Teslas on autopilot in a highway setting. Besides the advantages of adaptive cruise control (constant speed and set follow distance) it is adding safe lane changes where it always has visbility into blind spots and always activates the blinkers.

This beta adds the same benefits and more on city streets.

I actually have no idea what point you are trying to make, assuming there was one.

I have a dash cam in my Yaris. It's not any different than a Tesla recording video around you.
