This seems pretty contradictory. We require a lot of expensive training and certification before we declare someone a pilot and let them fly a plane with autopilot. Knowing that, I would suggeset that using the term 'autopilot' in a car that can be driven by untrained individuals is probably the wrong choice. We should use terminology that is crystal clear to Joe Average.
