It is literally an autopilot. Just like an autopilot on an airplane, it keeps you stable and in a certain flight corridor. There's virtually no difference except for Tesla's Autopilot's need to deal with curved trajectories.

- jhgb 5y agoWell, they still need to avoid the collisions more reliably, apparently. Once they do it perfectly reliably I will add it into the list of the things it does differently from an airplane autopilot. ;)
