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? Smiley I get it, it is too tiresome to keep the hands on the steering wheel but watching a DVD? Smiley

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. 

yeap - The name was choosen wrong! 

Sarcasmn on - Suicide Assistent.

but I agree - the name is indeed wrong, they should have called it drive assistent or something like that.
