As much as it pains me, you are right. As a sailor I would never rely on my autopilot to get me anywhere except in a straight line. The term has a connotation of coolness because it directly references similar features in the airline and yachting industry, if you understand what it means but the unwashed masses don't comprehend this.
- dmix 10y ago> As a sailor I would never rely on my autopilot to get me anywhere except in a straight line. Doesn't this support my argument that this is the real meaning of the term? Which makes 'autopilot' distinct from 'self-driving' or 4th gen? If you as a sailor can understand this then why can't drivers understand autopilot as a glorified cruise control?
