That just makes you less prepared when you do have to take over. That's the danger of almost-perfect self driving.

Exactly. Everything below L4 is _incredibly stressful_ and unpleasant to drive, because you have to be constantly aware and alert without having anything to do.

In the case of Tesla, daring to call such a system "Autopilot" is a breathtaking level of irresponsibility. You are responsible for the vehicle you are driving, practically, morally and legally, even if a companies' marketing and the system itself does its very best to divest you from that simple and obvious truth.
