Wandering around at random without paying attention when you're carrying on a phone conversation. Total unawareness of where you're going, what you're doing, or what's going on around you.
(hangs up, looks around) How did I get all the way out here? Must've been on phone autopilot.
Person1: Alex just walked into the room and looked right at me taking cash out of his wallet, I'm so busted!
Person2: Nah, he's just on phone autopilot, he didn't really notice.
You have to stop cleaning while you're on phone autopilot, I just found my car keys in the refrigerator.

Get the Phone Autopilot mug.When you are playing any video game without really thinking about what you're doing.
You can tell if someone is in Video Game Autopilot if they repeatedly do the same thing over and over, making them ridiculously easy to kill in Call of Duty.

Get the Commander Autopilot mug.This effect happens when consumers of a product (such as DAIN App or especially Telsa Autopilot) incorrectly uses a product, and unknowingly damages the reputation of certain software or products. The most notable case is Telsa's autopilot, where people are negligent and recklessly drive and get into accidents, damaging the reputation and credibility of those consumer products from news outlets reporting on these incidents.
James: "Ugh, another case of the misused autopilot effect! I wish people would start paying more attention while driving!"
Adam: "Yeah, isn't negligent driving, like, illegal?
James: "It is. It really is."
