They could keep that sweet controversy. Elon can go the Not-A-Flamethrower route and release a FSD driving update that changes the name to “Not-Autopilot.” Throw in a new game that requires tapping the “I am a passenger” confirmation, but is _only_ available while driving with “Not-Autopilot” engaged. EDIT: This is somewhat sarcastic, but the name Autopilot keeps coming up and invariably there’s a “think of the laypeople” response. In my opinion, it’s only what Tesla owners (or authorized operators) understand about Autopilot capabilities that matters. It doesn’t (shouldn’t) matter what my Camery-driving neighbor thinks Autopilot means. Apple has long offered a “Do Not Disturb” feature. Many laypeople might recognize an allusion to the hospitality industry, but there’s obviously a different “feature set” on my device than Do Not Disturb in a hotel room context. The main issue is not what they choose to call it, but whether or not Tesla is fulfilling their obligation to give the operator a clear picture of the capabilities and limitations. OFF-TOPIC: I don’t care what it’s called. I’ve owned a Tesla since 2018 and I purchased the FSD and AP packages for an added cost of $8K. I’m a bit salty because that $8K pushed the value of my Model 3 up enough that the insurance company wouldn’t total it after an accident. Repairs of ~$29k were less than half of the “value” at the time of the accident. However, 3 years later I’m here hoping the algorithm decides to let me use a feature that a) I paid for b) kept me in a car that would have otherwise been deemed a total insurance loss.
