I feel like I’m repeating myself to your constant emotional attacks of trying to make me feel guilt for 2016/ 2019 case so let me try to end it with: you’re right about one thing, AP is similar to other tech out there, it is cruise control with some extra features. If you think it is ethically wrong to put AP in the public, then every car since 2005 at least are a moral hazard, if you believe that fine I don’t. Cruise control is regulated, Tesla passed them with the highest ratings and releases safety reports since 2019 as I already said. Why the distinction is so important, most of Tesla AP doesn’t even use new tech, very little deep learning (just some CV stuff), AP still uses radar like every other car manufacturer out there and AP has a very simple state space planner which most cars use now though most Toyotas use older PID tech.
FSD beta is different, FSD is filled with new DL tech. DL are black box models that work surprisingly well but are not interpretable. They can suddenly output something nonsensical (like bing Chat did, ChatGPT surprisingly hasn’t) and you won’t even know why. There is a risk involved with putting DL based FSD out there, because you don’t know when it will fail. Tesla took that risk. Tesla however to date has had no FSD crashes that involved injuries, had 1 crash that involved the front of a Tesla being significantly damaged (which is being investigated by NHTSA as I already said), and several smaller collisions that have caused scratches on Tesla cars (at which point we promptly ban that user for life, you can see YouTube videos of this). Uber self driving killed a pedestrian, (though the paid QA driver should have been paying attention, it was not really Ubers engineers fault), Tesla actually handled the risk of using DL tech pretty well. It was a real risk, we still have no injuries and the tech keeps getting better. So yes your tiresome moral attacks don’t affect me and I prolly won’t respond again if I just have to repeat myself.

What concerns me is that even if this is technically true (I have no reason to doubt you, so I'll assume it's correct), it is not marketed this way. First the fact that it's called "AutoPilot" rather than something like cruise control or super cruise or lane assist, etc, or whatever other car manufacturers call their systems and second the misleading statements made by Tesla executives about how FSD is "imminent" and will be available soon.
