More than any other driver-assist system out there today, people overestimate what Tesla’s Autopilot can do, according to a new study.
“The name ‘Autopilot’ was associated with the highest likelihood that drivers believed a behavior was safe while in operation, for every behavior measured, compared with other system names,” said the study released this week by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
