Stop marketing Tesla's Level-2 ADAS as 'AutoPilot', maybe? It would be a pretty radical change, but it would get rid of what is by far the most common misconception about it - namely, that it allows for even momentary distraction by the driver (as the "autopilot" on an aircraft would) - in fact, it does not. On the flip side of it, they could fairly reintroduce the AutoPilot name when they reach at least Level 3 on the ADAS scale (allowing for momentary distraction in highly selective conditions, such as-- for a start-- when the car is basically restricted to moving at pedestrian-safe speeds anyway, due to intense congestion or other reasons).
