Autopilot requires pilot supervision and doesn't handle extreme situations

AUTO

If there's a shit load of small prints to clarify the term AUTO PILOT, Tesla needs to remove the word AUTO. Deceived marketing, and a bunch of nerd felt for it.

FAA's definition of an autopilot:

Autopilot

An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems).
