Autopilot in an airplane is similar. It can do a bit and make the trip easier, but it's not going to dodge a rock that happens to fall from the sky. It's a pretty simple system that really just relies on instrumentation. It's not using any fancy algorithms to make bold maneuvers. I might wager than Tesla's is doing more.

If it’s like an airplane, should be regulated like an airplane.
- hyperbovine 8y agoYeah but most people are not aware of that. To them it’s a button you push that flies the plane. This is why the marketing around this term is so deceptive.
