> I do not understand the point of trying to change the meaning of autopilot to mean lane keeping, or car chasing but with 100% attention still needed, then how will you name the real autopilot ? Again, I ask you what you think an autopilot function in a plane does? > do you think he would also be confused if marketing would have been more honest/modest ? I'm merely noting that you said "autopilot is not a real autopilot", and I think that name is actually accurate, but unfortunately the public has a skewed perception of what autopilot means. Specifically, you can read the first paragraph of Wikipedia's entry for it[1] and it should be fairly clear where the public understanding (and possibly your interpretation) of what autopilot is and what it is and is meant for in reality. To cut to the chase, since you seem to have ignored most my hints to look into how autopilot works, it does not automate every portion of flying a place, but just allows pilots to focus on other aspects of operating the craft. A pilots should not ignore the operation of the plane just because of autopilot any more than a driver should ignore operation of a vehicle with some driving assist technology. In both cases, they are assistive technologies, not replacement for drivers. If you want to make some case about what Tesla specifically said in addition to the naming, feel free to do so, but I'm not interested in arguing that. It wasn't what you initially argued, and it wasn't why I replied (I'm not interested in defending Tesla, just pointing out the naming may not be quite as bad as you think). 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopilot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopilot
