The whole "marketing confusion" angle really only makes sense for new owners or renters. Anyone who owns or uses the car for any length of time knows what the system is and what it can do. There have been a few people who wrecked under a newbie understanding, but really you're not going to get very far like that. The fatalities, at least, were people who knew how to use it but who encountered system limitations while trusting it enough to not be paying enough attention to take over. I don't think the name mattered.
Certainly it's not a perfect mode of operations, but entirely human-driven cars run into things through inattention, too. Is it worse? Better? I don't think we know for certain yet, other than it's not an obvious major problem. There's a lot of Autopilot use out there and only a handful of wrecks.
