It's not false advertising. I think there is a misconception among the public about what autopilot means. Autopilot is assistance, not replacement for human operators.

"An autopilot is a system used to control the path of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems)."

If I said you were an awful human being would you take it as a compliment because awful's root etymology comes from the same place as awesome and it still has a definition in dictionaries of "inspiring awe" or would you for some reason insist on using the definition that the majority of people today use for the word?
