I bet most of the prosecution time was spent "explaining" the meaning of autopilot to the jury. Easy money.

Airplanes have autopilots too but pilots are still sitting there on the controls and have to be paying attention. A brand or technical name doesn't remove responsibility.

This wasn't a plane though, and the driver wasn't a pilot

An airplane using autopilot isn't seconds away from suddenly crashing.
