Get a focus group of 100 average Joe consumers.

Ask them whet they think and autopilot feature is.

The vast majority of them will say. "Err... a car that drives itself"

Of course I'm speculating. But if someone did run such a focus group and the majority didn't give a definition which boiled down to "a car that drives itself" then i'll eat my hat.

The pedantic "true meaning" of a term doesn't matter. Particularly when naming a feature that not only has the capacity to kill, but has now actually done so.
