Another problem with the name is that autopilots in planes and ships do exactly what the pilot programmed them to do, e.g. hold a certain course. The Tesla autopilot on the other hand tries to intelligently react to the subset of the enviro

Why do you think that this is a "freak accident"? The situation doesn't seem to be very unusual or unlikely. The sensors should definitely detect a truck that is crossing your lane.

Soon Tesla will send you a text message as soon as your battery is low, trying to sell you a temporary boost so that you can get to the next charger safely. At least my mobile provider does that as soon as my data volume is almost used up.

The difference is that most people are not used to reading all caps, whereas for example people in China use blocks of characters all the time and can parse them quickly. In addition, now you can just skim the report quickly to see if there
