The two main ways for Google to commercialize the technology are by including Chauffeur, the name for its self-driving software, in cars made in high volume by existing auto manufacturers ... Is Chauffeur a generic name for driving log software or it's just so incidental that it happens to be same name Comma.ai picked for their own driving log app?

Google has been using that name semi-publicly since at least 2011.

Chauffeur comes from French and means "hired driver". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauffeur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauffeur It would be like calling a generic domestic robot 'Butler'. So it makes sense for an autonomous driving solution.
