I often defend autopilot's use with real drivers. I've driven with it extensively and have seen how other people actually use the system. There are abuses, but no more than I've seen with other systems. And none of them have been fooled into thinking that it is autonomous when it is not.

I've even defended the name Autopilot, since we've accepted names like "ProPILOT" which are no different in my mind.

Having said that, Tesla's phrasing for FSD is awful, and horribly misleading. I see the effects of this among non-owners all of the time. They really do think the system is fully self driving, when it is not.

The company should be forced to stop this practice. It is deliberately deceptive.
