So surely you take no issue with Google developing a search engine that does not support free speech then, either?
How else would you describe an Automatically Piloted Vehicle then?

If it's not self-driving, don't call it Autopilot, and don't lull people into a false sense of security. Even with alarms to try and keep the driver engaged, people are inherently going to place more faith in 'Autopilot' than 'Enhanced Cruise Control' or something similarly named.

The marketing around this feature is reckless, and Tesla + Musk should be ashamed. To the point that I would consider working on that team to be immoral.

For what it's worth, this is coming from a big Musk fan.

> It's basically cruise control that has some lane keeping abilities.

And this is exactly why calling it Autopilot is immoral and dangerous.
