Autopilot is a better name, although IMO it is still pretty bad.
* Airplane autopilot doesn’t totally handle every situation, for example it (historically at least) didn’t handle takeoff and landing.
* There was a lot of optimism around self driving cars when it was named. There might’ve been room to believe even the misunderstood full self driving idea of autopilot could be attainable.
“Incognito” just means a totally different thing from what incognito mode provides. The word has nothing to do with the feature, which is about not keeping a record for yourself of your own actions. Name it amnesia mode maybe. Blackout drunk mode.
