Tesla’s Autopilot name lacks ‘common sense,’ Buttigieg tells Bloomberg

Tesla’s name for its driver-assistance system, Autopilot, lacks "common sense", Keith Laing of Bloomberg reports. citing the country’s top transportation regulator. On Monday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the term Autopilot belies Tesla’s own requirement for drivers to keep both hands on the wheel. "I wouldn’t call something ‘Autopilot’ if the manual explicitly says that you have to have your hands on the wheel and the eyes on the road all the time," Buttigieg said in an interview with Bloomberg News. Buttigieg added marketing language is not part of the department’s investigations. Reference Link
