Autopilot in a plane usually doesn't involve autonavigation, whereas autodrive in a car generally requires navigation. Autodrive in a car without navigation is basically 'cruise control'.
- dreamcompiler 11y ago'Cruise control' does not (at least it didn't until very recently) even attempt to avoid collisions with neighboring cars or keep the car in its lane. Even without navigation, autodrive in a car is a considerably more difficult problem than either cruise control or autopilot in a plane.
- vacri 11y agoMy point is that 'autopilot' is more like 'cruise control', and except in advanced cases, is not analagous to 'autodrive'.
