And yet they're allowed to market it as "auto pilot" which is clearly an "I'm not required to be attentive" message. I agree, though, it's advanced cruise but not true driverless driving. It's not even worth it, to me. If I have not only monitor the road but "someone else's" driving, that's more work than just driving.
- njarboe 3y agoThe semantic difference between "cruise control" and "auto pilot" seems minimal to me. Imagine you have never heard of the term "cruise control" and a car company used the term.

Autopilot, on the other hand, is really good for on the highway/interstate. Speed regulation, maintaining spacing, and lane assist are all smoothly implemented. It is certainly less work than driving, typically by a lot. I say this with about 20k miles of autopilot usage in my model y.
