AI means so many things that it has become as meaningful as "magic". Some don't consider anything less than human-level an AI (this is also called AGI or strong AI). On the other hand enemy behavior in video games is commonly called "AI" even when it is as simple as pacman ghosts. In the same way that magic can literally mean "impossible" or be applied to card tricks accessible to 5 year olds.

I get why it's helpful for automotive engineers to talk in more detailed shades of grey, but for the rest of us, a car where I can't prop up my feet and start playing Minecraft is "assisted driving".
