At the level of airline pilots???

This discussion has happened many, many times here on HN. Tesla's marketing is extremely misleading (and it's not the only case).

But what's the broader point here, is it that the word "Autopilot" implies you need care or training?

Because if so, it sounds like Autopilot would be a good word.

I think the term "Full Self Driving" is misleading, but comparing it to an Autopilot (i.e. a system which requires pilot input and care) seems correct.
