I'm sorry, I'm terribly confused by your logic. > hook up an [aircraft] autopilot to a car This sounds histrionic > semantically a car with an autopilot ?? > Literally by employing a self-steerer. The Tesla Autopilot does not permit this This is not how Tesla autopilot works. If you are genuinely asking my opinion, I would very much like to see this technology in the driver seat of more vehicles on the road as soon as possible. Where distracted drivers kill 9 people PER DAY in the US [0], if an autopilot system (speaking about the current one available today) is anything less than that, then it is well worth it.
