What is Autopilot, really?

  • Some say The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has taken an overly deferential approach to industry in an era of profound automotive innovation, one that promises to make driving easier but creates new risks on the road. Nearly a decade since Tesla first rolled out Autopilot, the agency has yet to set basic standards for self-driving technology.
    “Their risk-averse approach to regulation puts drivers at greater risk on the road,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who has long called for more safeguards for driver-assistance systems, said in an interview. “They live in fear of potential criticism or opposition, and that’s just no way for a regulator to view the world. The Elon Musks of the world are not going to just sit still.”

    The name autopilot was chosen deliberately because it’s already an established term with clear limitations.
    We understand already that autopilots are fine for everyday flying, but when pilots are doing something intensive or if something goes wrong, they fly the plane by hand.
    This is roughly what we need to do with self driving cars already - the name sets more realistic expectations than something like “autodrive” which might lead consumers to believe the whole process is fully automatic and will never require intervention.

      @@notorioustori Love the reference, but the regulations are actually pretty tight. CFR 21 Section 101.22 defines natural and artificial for flavoring and coloring.
      For example subpart A(3) states: "The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional. Natural flavors include the natural essence or extractives obtained from plants listed in §§ 182.10, 182.20, 182.40, and 182.50 and part 184 of this chapter, and the substances listed in § 172.510 of this chapter."

    This isvhow we had the pipline breakage tuat lead to the "junk shot". The safety contact everyone had to have was the same person copy-pasted into each oil company's website. Unfortunately he'd been dead for years and none of the "self-regulating" companies took notice. So no, they shouldn't be allowed to determine that for themselves. The threshold would be beneath the floor level.

    A little misleading. Self certify just means that the OEM is responsible for ensuring they comply. They can still face heavy penalties if caught. It's more like "The bank doesn't lock the vault, but if you steal and get caught, you're still going to jail."

    Tesla autopilot means basically the same thing as plane autopilot; it can take care of most functions, but you still have to pay attention, and if something nonstandard happens, the pilot has to immediately take control again. I don't know where people got the idea that autopilot (as a term) means full, total, constant computer control.
    Now, Full Self Driving, THAT'S a terrible and misleading name.
