Self-driving system is flawed and can lull owners into danger, some claim; auto maker says Autopilot works as it should:

It's working as it is designed to, which is not as it should.
I read somewhere that the driver of the first fatal crash was watching a Harry Potter DVD while the autopilot was engaged? Seriously? I get it, it is too tiresome to keep the hands on the steering wheel but watching a DVD?
The choice of the name "Autopilot" for this system was wrong , because it gives rise to expectations on the part of the users which the system cannot safely fulfil.
