Boeing doesn't sell to consumers, their customers are large companies. There's quite a difference in the level of knowledge/competence to be expected between those two markets. So "this is fine in B2B" does not automatically translate into "this is fine when targeting John Q Public".

Speaking of aviation this is a great pilot training on automation dependence

Last I checked drivers are still required to be licensed and understand the functionality of their cars.

LOL - They don't have to be licensed specifically on a Tesla. They can show up in a Toyota Tercel from 1999 and take their test.

They've incorporated the best practices for managing the limitations of Tesla's autopilot into driving tests now? Glad to hear it.

No but they actually should. And every company either already has or is near an equivalent, so it makes sense to train drivers on what will soon be ubiquitous car software. Remember the goal here is to make driving safer. And there’s no evidence Teslas System isn’t doing that. People crash and die without autopilot every single day.

Yes, but they're not being trained on a specific car model like pilots are.

By taking a driving test one time in their life?

Also if you fly like a maniac you’ll get your license taken away, which is very much not the case for driving.
