While using Autopilot (Big A), there should be a loud klaxon every 30 seconds followed by a notification "CHECK ROAD CONDITIONS" and "REMAIN ENGAGED WITH DRIVING" in the same urgent tone of an aircraft autopilot (small a) warning system. Tesla did make a mistake calling it Autopilot, but only because regular folk don't understand that aircraft autopilot is literally a heading, altitude, and speed, and will not make any correction for fault. Aircraft autopilot will fly you straight into a mountain if one happens to be in the way. |

Auto-TCAS and Auto-GCAS exist, and the public is aware of them: E.g. http://www.airbus.com/newsroom/press-releases/en/2009/08/eas.... http://aviationweek.com/air-combat-safety/auto-gcas-saves-un....
