I don't know where you get the idea. Even plane autopilot will not land the plane w/o Pilot's supervision.
People who don't read manuals put themselves at risk.
Even simple systems like Cruise Control carry plenty of warnings that one should be familiar with when operating (from Ford's manual):
WARNING: Always pay close attention to changing road conditions when using adaptive cruise control. The system does not replace attentive driving. Failing to pay attention to the road may result in a crash, serious injury or death.
WARNING: Adaptive cruise control may not detect stationary or slow moving vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).
WARNING: Do not use adaptive cruise control on winding roads, in heavy traffic or when the road surface is slippery. This could result in loss of vehicle control, serious injury or death.

- rootusrootus 5y agoSo pilots will get the distinction, but non-pilots think it means self-driving.
- weeblewobble 5y agoI don't think so. Most people are aware that autopilot exists for airplanes, and they are also aware that there are always human pilots on board the plane.
- ahahahahah 5y agoIt doesn't really matter what you think. Studies have shown that a significant number of people believe that ADAS branded as "Autopilot" means that the driver does not need to pay attention.
