I think this is false because varying abilities of people will use the autopilot, not just the worst. The autopilot needs to be better than average for an overall improvement. I think it needs to be much better than average to be compelling enough for most people to adopt it. Most people consider themselves to be good drivers, even with sufficient evidence to the contrary.
