Well, I agree with much of what you say, but all I was trying to say is this: If 'autopilot' is a misleading name for Tesla's advanced driver assist system, then isn't it also misleading for airliners to use that term? To me, the two systems appear to be very similar in what they can do.


the only thing both have in common is the spelling


If you're not interested in having a rational discussion about it, you can just say so.


I would like to point out that you are pushing square through circular hole insisting you are doing it right.

Tesla's Autopilot and plane autopilot are different technology requiring different level of training and skill to operate.

Equating both due to name and extrapolating that common person should know better when driving their tesla is slippery-slope towards victim blaming.

Just accept you were wrong.


> slippery-slope towards victim blaming

You forgot to add "straw man cognitive dissonance Dunning–Kruger" to your little fallacy salad.


Hmmm. I see you are out to embarrass yourself even more.

Do go one share your thoughts.
