Autopilot in an aircraft is basically cruise control, not full self flying.

This is such a pointless talking point, it amazes me how pro-Tesla people have latched onto it.

It doesn’t matter what it means. It matters what people think it means.

This is discussed tons of other places in these comments, and every previous story about Autopilot and FSD here on HN.

It also ignores how Tesla promoted "autopilot". Until very recently tesla.com/autopilot just showed that a video saying the driver was only there for legal reasons. Yes maybe technically they meant FSD (for which it's also a lie, and which has a lying name as well) but they were definitely mixing the terms up themselves (and I think the video predated FSD)

It’s anti tesla people that bring this whole argument up.

Anyone who drives on autopilot for few hours learns immediately of it’s limitations, it’s not an enigma like some try to purport.
