The only objective of Tesla Autopilot is Traffic Aware Cruise Control and lane keeping. That’s it. End of story. You are there to supervise operation and take action when TACC and LK are insufficient for the environment. Autopilot when used correctly can significantly reduce fatigue because you are not focussed on the minutiae of keeping pace with the car in front of you and keeping the car in the assigned lane. This frees your attention up for higher level operation such as observing the traffic further ahead, scanning for hazards, and enjoying the scenery to your left and right. Discerning stationary hazards from stationary scenery is not part of Autopilot’s feature set right now, that is your job as the operator.
