It is literally called "autopilot."

Are you implying that the drivers involved were not even aware that they were using the feature negligently?

Even after they used it for miles, it having certainly audibly reminded them many times, over months, that they must have their hands on the wheel?

Maybe if someone is deaf, reads "autopilot", jumps in the car and crashes, the name is at fault. Otherwise, unlikely.
