Tesla gets a lot of exposure on their autonomous tech, its failures and how people abuse it. But people abuse semi-autonomous capabilities on other brands as well. There's one for Inifiniti, for example. I'm sure TikTok is full of non-Tesla "self-driving" videos. I think Tesla suffers from selection bias both from the direction of media attention (where an AutoPilot incident/abuse video gets more exposure than the same in other brands) and from Tesla users being more vocal in their sharing of such stunts (as well as the always on external cameras that allow for more incidents to be captured vs. relying on an aftermarket dashcam that not every other "self-driving" car has).
