hit the spot
I'm reminded of the old joke, please don't personify inanimate objects as they resent it. Comparing AutoPilot to a human ignores the obvious, it is just a tool.. . . It is just that FSD needs to be equal or better than the human driver for it to be widely accepted, otherwise it is just adds more work as we have to supervise the system and drive the car.
A perfect tool, no, but few tools beyond a rock are not. AutoPilot is never tired, over-worked, stress out, running a low grade fever, suffering allergies, distracted, looking for revenge, . . . It is a tool, nothing more or less. In the hands of a skilled driver who has the attitude and patience to learn how to use it, AutoPilot is very, very handy.
