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.

Get the Misused Autopilot Effectmug. An honorable sex act that begins with being bored on a road trip, this act usually involves at least two guys. First the passenger must get on top of the driver and begin having Anal sex, while bouncing on top of the driver they must start making out with each other vigorously. After that, due to the drivers riders visual restrictions, the driver must use his tongue to guide the rider how to steer the car. The rider then uses his ass cheeks to turn the steering wheel in whatever direction the drivers tongue pushes in his mouth. This act is preferably to only be done on interstates where the turns are limited.
“Hey I’ve been driving for a while and I’m a little tired, should we put it in interstate autopilot?”
