No, they have not. Tesla started with electrified Lotus in 2008? --By 2008; Mercedes had made massive strides. What comes to mind is the MY2000 S-class with adaptive cruise control, which allows brake/throttle control in stop & go traffic. Of course, other car mfgs (Toyota?) were showing automated parallel parking features before Tesla even existed.

Of course Tesla is infamous for it's autonomous vehicle failures. "Progress!"
