These "incidents" are caused by people who don't pay attention and don't know what they are doing. How many airplane accidents were caused by human error. Does that make a 747, A320 or whatever a piece of crap or a misleading machine because it had autopilot? Is the A330 a piece of crap because of AF447? I sometimes wonder what the regular person thinks an autopilot actually is?
I am a pilot and use autopilot on every flight of course, but I can tell you it's not a hands off, brains off kinda thing what some people seem to expect from an autopilot. Tesla does not claim that any of their cars are a hands off autopilot, at least not yet. So I don't think it's misleading at all.
It's misleading that you claim Audi has a L3 system. I mean it does, but only up to 60 km/h which is kind of a joke. It's great for traffic jams, but what after that?
