People are assuming that all over this discussion, but it's not necessarily the case. I drive past that location on a regular basis, usually in the carpool lane and into the left exit. I've seen many drivers cut over from the exiting left lane to the main road, often dangerously. So no, I wouldn't assume autopilot is involved at all.
