Nissan was one of the first car companies to ship an EV. Not sure what “catching up” they need to do.

I assume that's about the self-driving part rather than the EV part. Honda was the first to actually sell something that met the requirements for the (American) Society of Automotive Engineers' Levels of Driving Automation that counted as the the human in the driver's seat not driving

I thought that was Mercedes (in Nevada), unless you’re talking about sales outside of America.

It looks like the Honda one was actually only in Japan, but if I am reading correctly they still used the standards from the American SAE which had me thinking they did it in more markets. It was 2020 on the Honda Legend that they first did it, vs 2023 on the Mercedes, but Mercedes was indeed the first to actually get it certified in the US
