how is autopilot feature still allowed to be called auto pilot? it mistakenly leads people to believe that it can drive itself. The name literally means - a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft without constant 'hands-on' control by a human operator being required.
After multiple deaths now the head of marketing at Tesla should be criminally prosecuted (or whoever is the big shot who signed off on this name).
- Filligree 8y agoIts capabilities are about on par with an airplane autopilot. I have a lot of problems with Tesla, including the way they market this, but the name is accurate.
- dirkgently 8y agoWell, then they should also provide the same regorous training that the pilots recieve, or make Tesla available to those who are equally trained.
- Filligree 8y agoThat, I can agree with. One might also argue that a mere autopilot does not imply good enough capabilities to work in a cluttered, dense environment such as roads.
- bdcravens 8y agoPilots require a much higher level of licensing however.
- buvanshak 8y ago> Its capabilities are about on par with an airplane autopilot. Some one should study you. Because I don't know how someone with a brain can be so stupid...Not considering the possiblity that you are paid for it, because everyone knows that there are no shills on hackenews...
