> how breathlessly we (as an industry) talk about things like “autopilot” instead of “driver assist”

Is this true? I was just purchasing a car and did a lot of research. I was looking only at the European brands because I like the overall offering. There are different names, but none too flashy or promising too much.

How they call the driving assistant systems:

- BMW: Driving Assist (Regular/Plus/Professional)

- Volvo: Pilot assist

- Mercedes-Benz: they just describe the functions, i.e. active cruise control, steering assist, etc.

- VW group (VW, Skoda, Seat): Travel assist
