BMW Driving Assistant Plus vs. Tesla Autopilot

Does anyone have any insight? How comparable is BMW to Tesla? I would love any insight. Thanks!

Not in the same category, though tesla's system is often fooled by shadows.

What should I expect? Obviously not fully autonomous but what is it like driving on freeway and in streets,

Can't speak to the Tesla. But for the M5, I didn't like it at all. It seems to wander quite a bit. I could never feel sure that it would stay in the lane. It seems better is slow traffic when it can follow a car in front. But still don't use it as I have to hold the wheel anyway, so might as well steer myself. But the distance cruise control on the other hand is really great in traffic and I use that all the time.
