Thanks, to be clear I tried Autopilot's street capabilities in a non-busy area, so the risk of anyone getting hurt was pretty low. I'm still bullish on electric/hybrid cars and plan to get one in the future.
Appreciate the extra info on supercharging, good to know.
I think the misunderstanding of Autopilot came from a few things:
- The hype you mention around Tesla and some of the language they use.
- My own mistake in conflating self-driving technologies that Google, Uber, Lyft (Cruise), etc. are working on with Tesla's.

- Videos like this posted on Tesla's site two years ago: https://www.tesla.com/videos/full-self-driving-hardware-all-.... Notice the car fully stops at intersections in that video.
