How practical is car Autopilot ?

Haven't seen any reports yet on Autopilot but I have a hunch that
there must be some hidden costs? Anyone take the bait yet?

If you mean the AAA Autopilot that is advertised on TV, then it is not
very good. It's not a GPS. I don't own one, but it seems to be a road
atlas programmed into a hand held unit. A Google turns up some reviews
that give it poor marks.

Thanks for the info. Am a bit surprised to see an AAA
endorsement of an inferior product; but was unable
to google anything current. Also disappointed to learn
that it is not a GPS-based unit.
