Not Auto Pilot (AP). There's a difference between FSD and AP. AP will just keep you between the lane lines and pace the car in front of you. It can also change lanes when told to. There's also Enhanced Auto Pilot (EAP). EAP was supposed to bridge the gap between AP and FSD. It would go "on ramp to off ramp". So it could switch lanes as needed and get to exit ramps. FSD is the mode where you shouldn't need to touch it outside of answering the nag (the frequent nag to "apply force to the steering wheel" to tell it you are still alive and paying attention)*.
'* At least I think that's the same for FSD. I'm only on AP with AP1 hardware. Never had an issue that I'd blame on a "bug" or the software doing something "wrong".
I'm not getting what this reply has to do with that you appear to have replied to
