And this is why I don't think they should call it "autopilot". The name is misleading, imo

I'm not clear on it either, but I think it's some kind of cruise-control, with auto-steering. (If I'm wrong, someone please let me know)

CoPilot? Someone who can completely take over for you when you're feeling tired. Compared to an Autopilot which requires pilot or skipper supervision I think copilot would be a far worse term if it weren't for the fact that the name doesn't really matter too much.
