It's about time. No matter if "autopilot" is a technically correct term or not if most people think it means something different then it does mean something different. That is how words work. Tesla isn't some entity outside the real world. Of course HNers will say they know better but since HN readers doesn't buy the majority of the 500.000 cars sold a year that is irrelevant. What the average person believe an ad says is what it actually says. Tesla knows full well that the average person doesn't hear the same thing when an ad says Autopilot as when it says Driver assist etc. and they should be on the hook for any accidents caused by these misunderstandings.
