>Unfortunately most of the world thinks pilots in commercial aircraft turn on the autopilot and can then go for a sleep

They can go for a sleep though.

Only if you're happy waking up to find you're about to plow into another large object at a high rate of speed.

The Pilot in Command is expected to sit in their seat and monitor the aircraft, surrounding airspace and the radios, and be ready to take control at a moments notice.

They can't go for a snooze without handing that over to another pilot first.

The same expectation applies to drivers of Tessa's Autopilot.
