Autopilot is a Level 2 autonomous driving system that incorporates features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist.

US publication Business Insider interviewed an employee who 'trains' the driver assistance system and its more capable Full Self-Driving sister system.

The employee's daily job is to review five to six hours of footage captured by the 'Tesla Vision' cameras on the company's vehicles and 'label' objects such as road signs, traffic roads and line markings so the system knows what they are.

Tesla has introduced better policies to reduce the risk of future leaks.
