I don't understand the need for autopilot I have to much anxiety to let a vehicle drive me around, I understand EV's and battery cars but Autopilot I don't need it and never will.

Saw lenos new video with musk and the truck. Musk says it needs to be 5 percent smaller. Truck looks better in operation than it does on a stage imo.

I am willing to accept full autopilot once I'm not held liable anymore. I want to sit in the back and drink a coffee while working on my laptop and have the company that made the car have to insure it. Otherwise I'm driving. Nannies are fine if I can disable them on rare occasion.

Just like with aircraft autopilots, if the fault can be shown to be caused by something wrong with the autopilot, the manufacturer will likely be held accountable, but I doubt they assume accountability just because you engage it.

I'm still leaning towards the Hummer EV if i was going to buy a EV truck, particularly if it looks like the ones R&T have in their articles. Call me a traditionalist I guess...

now i'm really curious. if a pilot sets one of the full-autopilot systems up after takeoff, and then goes to attend to the passengers-- if something happens despite the odds it shouldn't, would it still be considered 'pilot error'?

There is no circumstance where a pilot would be allowed to leave the cockpit unattended, autopilot or not. Also, you have to remember autopilots in planes are not designed to avoid obstacles or follow roads. They operate in a much simpler, less target rich environment than an automobile. Even the most sophisticated aircraft autopilot primarily assumes that is has a clear path in which to operate. Those that can land the plane (only the big boys have this), do not taxi it to the gate. The plane knows where the center of the runway is by coordinates and it follows the glide slope to land. It doesn't look to see if there is another plane, or a deer, on the runway. I'm not sure there is an autopilot designed to take the plane off. That is why, at least per Musk, it's OK to use "autopilot" as the name of the system in the car. It's because to some extent it does act exactly like one in a plane. If the situation is right, it can guide the car fine but you still need a human to handle the most sophisticated situations and as a fail-safe. It's flawed thinking in a car but that is the thought behind it.

https://blog.esurance.com/seat-belt-history/ There will be a point in time when an autopilot system will be no different in the minds of drivers than using seatbelts, having airbags or antilock brakes. Your risk is significantly less having it than not having it, when using it correctly. Once it reaches full autonomy, this will become obvious. I could imagine that insurance rates will be cheaper for autopilot vehicles than non-autopilot vehicles, and that the cameras and computer systems will make the few traffic collisions simple for insurance companies in terms of determining who was at fault. I could imagine a future where it is mandated that everyone drive with autopilot engaged, no different than needing seat belts and air bags. In fact, cars without steering wheels are probably not far away--less than fifty years guaranteed, but probably much sooner.
