Your above comment was blaming it. Why even bring Autopilot up otherwise?

The above comment, which was a summary of the article, doesn’t blame autopilot. It brings up autopilot as being used by an inattentive driver outside autopilot’s intended use conditions. Acting like autopilot, it’s marketing, and it’s general population perception is an innocent bystander in this situation is, however, disingenuous. You don’t give a car to someone and say “it has airbags, it’s safe” and trust that they’ll actually be ok on the road with no further info, right? So why would you think releasing untested software in a product with overhyped marketing using unfamiliar terms^1 would just be ok?
