Re: Stop calling it Autopilot

People will hear what they want to hear and will convince themselves that what they think should be true is true.

Many people who pay for 'Autopilot' want a self driving car. The feature is called "Autopilot". "Auto" implies autonomous driving of the car.

The car really will drive itself largely without input from the meatsack in the seat.

Therfore it's not a massive leap for an idividual to decide that they have bought a self driving car. The marketing and the evidence thay have supports this, the small print is just legalise after all.

I would have to say is WTF is going on where we have 'beta' versions of software on two ton vehicles carring a large box of volitile chemicals.
