> If s/he had a heart attack or stroke and was slumped over the wheel, the vehicle should still be able to stop in response to emergency vehicles It should? Does your car do this? Do any cars do this? Cars don't do this. Traditionally, cars with passed-out drivers crash and kill people. Teslas don't. Are you saying you'd prefer they crash and kill people if they can't detect emergency commands from other vehicles?

I think you understand full well that this was offered in the context of self-driving cars, and that you did not in fact need it spelled out for you again.

  How is it in the context of self driving, if autopilot is not self driving?

    It is. Etymologically, they are synonymous. Differentiating them is just BS.

      You're demanding a safety feature because of linguistics?

        Should I not pay attention to the meaning of words?

        I think the decision as to which safety features get implemented for an automobile should be independent of the designer's choice of language, yes.
