The S Class also has very basic "autopilot" that's been getting more advanced for years now (not sure about the 7)
The 7 can detect and compensate for a flat tire during driving.
I think the parent post was confusing multimedia with technology.
And honestly the hardware for multimedia in Teslas is already outdated. Tesla is updating their platform at a much higher cadence than most cars, but they still haven't escaped the impedance mismatch between multimedia hardware which gets outdated in a year, and cars, which are outdated over much longer periods.
That's why to me a high quality BT or well placed wired input is all that matters

I see... that makes sense.
I have been in a Tesla (not as the driver though, it was a taxi !!!) and that screen garnered the same reaction from me as I reacted to the 12" iPad. The touch interface did seem to be well implemented.
From a pure interaction perspective I still find the new BMW iDrive interface with the physical command dial to be quite practical, especially in the left hand drive versions. The screens are not as enormous as Tesla but they are still serviceable.
I totally get the point with updated BT and wirings. I recently bought an very cheap BT 4.0 receiver to plug into the AUX socket and stream audio from my phone. There is a significant difference between the audio quality produced by BT streaming compared to playing CD in the head unit.
