The article keeps calling it “Autopilot”, which is different from “Full Self Driving”.
If they are correct, then it’s all on the driver. Autopilot is just a nicer adaptive cruise control, and should be treated as such. Many cars have them, even non-smart vehicles. Even my seven year old Subaru had similar (much dumber but similar)
That being said, people seem to confuse the names of these different functionalities all the time, including throughout this thread. However, even if they were confused and meant FSD, my car has feedback to require your hands in the wheel, so I don’t understand how you can claim ignorance
No. That difference is meaningless, since both softwares provide autonomy level 2. The responsibilities are exactly the same.
