I didn't say it was perfect or even unbiased, just that it's better than denying something happened or refusing to talk about it.

How about a more apt comparison to the type of stuff DeepSeek has gone viral for censoring?
I think "autopilot" is an accurate name. An aircraft's autopilot is not designed to allow unsupervised flight. It merely assists with the more "mundane" tasks so the pilot can focus on things that need more active human monitoring. It seems that the type of people to buy these cars for this feature are also the type of people who do not understand what an autopilot is supposed to do. I guess in that sense, I do agree with you.
My thing is that these cars have enough design problems already, and I feel like conflating an autopilot feature with how people are abusing it will pull focus away from the larger issues. Like that horrible manual door release design in another post, and other questionable safety choices.
To each their own, I suppose. I prefer having the info generally available, so I can find various accounts of an event and form my own opinions. If the information is actively suppressed, it's a lot more difficult to find out what really happened than if the info is available but some sources are (heavily) biased.
