Criticality results
Pilots lack confidence in automation due to their experience (or lack thereof) with it. This results in a failure to use automation when it should be used. (pc46)

Criticality results
Automation presents little or no feedback, or the feedback is inappropriate or misleading. As a result, pilots may be unaware of the mode (state) and behavior of the automation. (pc51)
