A couple of my criticisms with the article, which is about "autopilot" and not fsd:

-conflating autopilot and dad numbers, they are not interoperable systems. They are separate code bases with different functionality.

-the definition of "autopilot" seems to have been lifted from the aviation industry. The term is used to describe a system that controls the vector of a vehicle, is the speed and direction. That's all. This does seem like a correct description for what the autopilot system does. While "FSD" does seem like it does not live up to expectations, not being a true level 5 driving system.

Merriam Webster defines autopilot thusly:

"A device for automatically steering ships, aircraft, and spacecraft also : the automatic control provided by such a device"
