The Tesla isn't a "self-driving car", autopilot is lane-keeping cruise control.

  Sure, feel free to substitute whatever terminology you like into the above comment

    Cruise control is not safer than a human driver, it's a convenience for highway driving, not a replacement for humans.

      Are airbags and seatbelts also conveniences that do not make the driver safer?

  While not as marketable, "enhanced cruise control" might be a better name to avoid these situations because people associate cruise control with still needing to steer and remain focused.

  It’s more than that. It can stop and start at traffic lights, change lanes and maintain distance between you and the car in front of you.
