Correct

Assist is indeed closer to reality but it also mean disabled, or not autonomous, in "marketing" vocabulary.

Autopilot meaning I can flip the switch and get on with my other more important things e.g. drinking fresh coffee and reading the morning headlines. In "marketing" vocabulary.

Feel bad for this poor chap and his family. Tragedy for everyone (the industry also)
