> it has AUTO in the name. So does autocorrect, but I don't see people complaining that banging on the keyboard doesn't produce sonnets. This whole "auto" thing is ridiculous. By the way, it's an automobile and has been for a while ... where's the expectation that it will drive itself? Should we not call them automobiles anymore, in case someone gets the wrong impression? This is silly.

Do you disagree that Tesla is using autopilot and not 'drive assist' or something like that to make the potential think their implementation is so much better than the rest of the world? Or the fact that they don't push so much on keeping the hands on the wheel to make this more comfortable for the users vs. the rest. They are actively trying to exploit the fact people think autopilot is more capable then the rest. Hence you/they can't complain when that perception backfires on them.
