Oh man you’re going to be really upset when you hear that autopilot is just another name for advanced cruise control. A huge percentage of the cars on the road have it.

Even “normal” cars like the Civic or CRV.

I had an Accord. I never got a single false stop in 5 years. My mom owns a CRV. Same, no false stops.

Lots of manufacturers have ACC and collision mitigation. You’re right, Tesla didn’t invent it.

But I don’t hear constant complaints about other cars. I don’t hear people saying you “just get used to it” trying to stop on an empty highway. I don’t see other NHTSA investigations.

The only reason you hear about Tesla is because they have a loudmouth CEO who rubs journalists the wrong way. Practically every manufacturer deals with this “problem.”
