The Ford and GM systems are only "hands free" until they are not and the human must take over immediately. And that point happens with more frequency than with Autopilot. Because Autopilot stays engaged and handles more complex situations without requiring driver intervention than either GM's or Ford's system.Now we're just down to semantics, but I could argue that yes, GM and soon Ford will have a true hands-free system for specific situations when Tesla's website still calls Autopilot a "hands-on" system. To me, that's a huge difference.
Not only can Autopilot handle more variety of roads, but on the roads that GM and Ford's system can handle, the Tesla is less likely to require human intervention to avoid an accident.
That's a much more important distinction than the method each system uses to very a human is present.
