Teslas Autopilot does more 'automatic' stuff than real autopilot on a plan, which can basically only predefined follow gps waypoints with a set speed. Just because people are stupid about it should not necessitate any changes on Teslas part.

Yes, but you’re missing the point: in the public perception, an autopilot is a device that flies the whole plane while pilots banter and drink coffee with croissants, go to the bathroom, and in general have a good time until it’s time to land.

Telling them that a country road is far more complex than the open sky, and that air traffic is quite sparse, helps little.
