While that’s true (on a plane, I’ve seen simply keeping the wings level labelled “Autopilot” without it even maintaining altitude), it’s still a travesty. a) Pilots have certification and training which includes proper use of whatever ‘autopilot’ that plane has. b) Even so, the name still “over-promises” in an arena where doing so risks lives. So it should never have been called that even on a plane. Let alone on a car sold to consumers with little regulation.
