Not that I agree with your statement, but the "general consciousness" would be wrong in that case.
Autopilot in most aircraft will gladly fly you into the side of a mountain or other aircraft.
- lolc 4y agoThe environment matters. An aircraft autopilot will allow the pilot to safely disengage while in controlled airspace. A Tesla "Autopilot" will not let the driver disengage in any situation.
- zionic 4y ago>A Tesla "Autopilot" will not let the driver disengage in any situation. Um, what? A driver can override Tesla autopilot at any time.
- lolc 4y agoClearly, it must be possible to disengage the Tesla "Autopilot" at any time. Because it can fuck up any second. I was talking about freeing the pilot from maintaining situational awareness. This is not supported for drivers of Tesla vehicles; the term "autopilot" is misleading in that context.
