- vel0city 3y agoAutopilot, meaning a system which will keep speed with the car in front of it and keep your car in the lane, is a pretty apt description of the system. Autopilot on an airplane will do what it can to keep the plane reasonably level, keep it on its set waypoints, and try to keep a constant speed. Isn't keeping the car in the lane and matching traffic a pretty similar comparison? Sure sounds to me like calling a decent ADAS system "autopilot" is pretty accurate.
