But, Tesla's system is designed for collision avoidance, automatic braking, etc. There is absolutely a problem that they call it "Autopilot", as it brings to mind the airplane meaning of the term.
But, it matches neither the common use case for airplane autopilot systems nor the common perception--right or wrong--of what those autopilot systems do. So, Tesla enjoys the cachet that comes with that latter perception, while relegating the true description to the "fine print" of the owner's manual.
