Autopilot my ass. Just call it what it is (assisted driving) and set realistic expectations with the drivers to what its capabilities are.
- wilg 3y agoEveryone who uses it is clearly warned that it is an assistive system, and are constantly monitored for attentiveness.
- x86x87 3y agoYeah. We need to make advertising it as autopilot illegal. It's not autopilot. Far from it. Also claiming X and Y but thw driver ia responsible is case something happens is shady af
- wilg 3y agoI really don't think the name matters from a safety perspective. Also, if you want to base it on the definition, you'll find that its a pretty reasonable analogy to an airplane autopilot. The pilot of an airplane can't just walk away while on autopilot. But I don't think the definition matters much, because I don't believe the name can cause significant safety issues, and also there is no evidence to suggest it is causing issues in practice. Also, your other argument really depends on what "X" and "Y" are, and I think you'll find that they are not really claiming what you think they are claiming.
