  I don't know if it is purposeful or the name is genuinely confusing, but Autopilot is basically adaptive cruise control and lane assist. Updates that happened after this crash took place always stopping at stop signs and red lights for properly equipped cars. FSD or Full Self Driving is the thing that drives the car all by itself. If you are not in the beta, it can only be activated on highways. So basically this guy plowed a red light and cruise control and killed someone.
