On: Tesla Recalls 2M Cars to Fix Autopilot Safety Flaw...

“People are morons” is not a justification for claiming they aren’t equivalent when they are.

[alistairSH → kortilla]

But they aren't equivalent.

The airline system requires thousands of hours of training total (and many hours on a specific type/model of plane) to operate.

Driving a car requires no such training.

[kortilla → alistairSH]

The training has nothing to do with the capabilities of the system.

The aircraft requires hundreds of hours to operate without autopilot. Autopilot isn’t what imposes the training requirement.

[ryanklee → kortilla]

The justification isn't that people are morons, it's that the same word can have different meanings on different contexts.

[kortilla → ryanklee]

In what transportation context does “autopilot” mean it works without supervision? I’ll wait.
