If that is true it may explain why so many mis-use and mis-understand the Tesla Autopilot. The reality is, very few airliners make auto-takeoffs and auto-landings on any given day. Most airliners are not even capable of auto-landing.
The description Tesla uses, "automatic driving from highway on-ramp to off-ramp" is actually descriptive of the way autopilot is used on modern jets. Engage after take-off (on-ramp) and disengage after approach (off-ramp) prior to landing.
