Note: 1:54 is actually a Model 3 rather than a Model S. When researching the story, I went off of the police department’s social media post (see link below under sources) which said it was an S. Thanks to my viewers for spotting the difference!

3:47 Autonomy level explainer:

Tesla's Autopilot is currently classified as Level 2 autonomy based on the SAE International scale referenced in the video. The full self-driving (FSD) software is a major improvement, however, it cannot (yet) be categorized as Level 3 autonomy.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “the major distinction between L2 and L3 is that at L3, the vehicle is designed so that the driver is not expected to constantly monitor the roadway while driving.”

Since drivers are expected to constantly monitor the road at all times during beta tests of Tesla’s FSD software, the vehicles are not quite at Level 3, though they're certainly moving in that direction.

For a detailed explanation, please refer to page 8 of the following document (aka page 2 based on the internal numbering of the PDF): https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/812044_hf-evaluation-levels-2-3-automated-driving-concepts-f-operation.pdf
