Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) has called on the U.S. car maker Tesla to promote its vehicles with the term “Autopilot”. The name was misleading, since it is merely an assistance system. “Misunderstandings and wrong customers avoid expectations, we call ‘Autopilot’ during the application of the system to use”, – quotes the “Bild am Sonntag” from a letter from the authority to the automaker. A Ministry spokesman confirmed the Letter to Tesla. The KBA is subordinated to the Federal Ministry of transport.

It is also called by the name of the Autopilot, the driver led “astray”. He does not get displayed when the System devices in a Computer-unsolvable situation. The Autopilot drive “simple (insecure)”, – quoted the “mirror” from the paper.
