Tesla warns you in every way possible to pay attention as if you were driving while using the autopilot. I don't think they could do much more to alert people to the fact that autopilot is simply a driving aid, not a substitute for a mentally capable driver.

Pretty much the same thing really.  You don't put on autopilot in a plane and go walking around the cabin.  It simply flies the plane.  It doesn't avoid or handle all situations.  It just flies the plane better than a human can in normal conditions.  That much is true of the Tesla autopilot. 

The problem is people don't understand what autopilot does in an airplane.  So in that sense, yeah, maybe a bad choice of names.

That would have been the anti-social twit detector.

No point in telling a customer that he isn't the kind of driver they want in control of their cars.

More likely drive you off a high cliff at speed. You managed to get rid of it before it succeeded in getting rid of you. Pity.

No anti-lock braking system? There's hope for us yet.

And yet, the clueless John Doe troll has continued to post incorrectly
formatted USENET articles that are devoid of content (latest example on
Sat, 4 Jun 2022 19:56:27 -0000 (UTC) in message-id
<t7gddb$qs2$1@dont-email.me>).

NOBODY likes the John Doe troll's contentless spam.

This posting is a public service announcement for any google groups
readers who happen by to point out that John Doe does not even follow
the rules it uses to troll other posters.

Dick's like John Doe and Cursitor Doom do try to present a united front - rather like right and left buttocks, though far right and lunatic right bums  might be closer to the mark. Flyguy would sit between them.
