UX and interfaces are important. If it's marketed and described as "autopilot" or "full self driving," then a reasonable person expects it to automatically pilot the vehicle I'm normal driving situations. Tesla is unfortunately trapped in a all too common story of AI development: over-hype and under-deliver.

There are plenty of warnings about "keeping hands on the wheel" and "full attentiveness". Of course people are going to ignore this, just like many people chose to ignore the effects of alcohol and drive.

  Imagine if Mary Barra was on TV telling everyone that you could "pretty much drive our cars drunk", and then put in fine print that drunk driving is bad and illegal.

    There is a big difference between claiming that "you could just go in the backseat while the car drives itself", and calling your system Autopilot, considering collision avoidance isn't anywhere in the traditional definition of autopilot as it pertains to planes. Don't let your hate for Musk as a person cloud your judgement. These things are not comparable.

      Musk has said about autopilot “the car drives itself”. And their latest level 2 driving assistance feature is called “full self driving” I don’t dislike the guy, but this is irresponsible.

Do you think that the average consumer knows this much about how plane autopilots work? If not, how is it relevant?
