There are no crunchberries in Cap’n Crunch cereal either; because crunchberries do not exist. Maybe someone should sue.
Oh wait. They did. And they lost.
How about auto-pilot on an airplane you idiot? This guys is a complete loser.
Hey, Pete, it’s also misleading (aka: a complete lie) that EVs help to save the planet. Talk about that.
Should something with a penis be called a woman Pete?
I read somewhere that the younger you are the more you trust the tech. So idiots get behind the wheel, tell the autopilot where to go and then proceed to read a book, take a nap or attempt to reproduce in the back seat. Trouble is they not only thin themselves from the herd, but often take others with them.
That said, adaptive cruise control and lane assist do make driving on the interstate quite a bit easier. But being a geezer, I still keep my hands on the wheel.
Bootyjudge clearly hasn’t read the fine print, but that doesn’t stop from his mouth from running on autopilot.
Total. Utter. Imbecile.
Wheres Elon Musks response. Should be epic as usual. Some thing like...”In the interest of consumer sensitivity as well as inept/insecure transportation secretaries, Tesla vehicles have optional moderated autopilot modes for the driver to hold onto the wheel if they so desire.”
I’ve ridden in one. Friend input the address, car drove out of the driveway, out of the neighborhood, onto the freeway, drove on the freeway for 3 miles, occasionally passing slower cars, and exited, all by itself. All while observing other traffic, operating turn signals, and obeying posted speed limits.
It’s fully automatic. I wouldn’t sleep in it, but it mostly works as advertised.
I actually somewhat agree with Butt-whatever on this one. Hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day! :-)
If I’d been in charge, I would have named the current system “Copilot”, as it’s an assistant, not a full-fledged driver. It can handle the easy stuff, but I’d be very wary of it (for instance) correctly responding to police hand signals, or other unexpected things like some construction zones.
A future system, which should include Level 4 or 5 autonomy would be the point wher I’d announce, with great fanfare, that it is now “Autopilot”, and capable of working without supervision. Note that there still might be moments when an alarm sounds and the human in the driver’s set would need to take over, or presumably the car would pull over safely and park.
I’m impressed with Tesla’s approach and tech, it just isn’t quite ready for the “Autopilot” name...
Those humans at it again....Pete just won’t let them gain control of their own lives. Never.

Pete, why don’t you STFU
Saying man can have babies is misleading too, Peter.
