Commercial aircraft autopilot systems are capable of taking off, flying the complete route, and landing without pilot assistance. It is a matter of corporate legal exposure and public opinion that requires human pilots to oversee all electronic operations. Pilots are licensed as a foundational component of their occupation. Most non-urban commuters view their use of vehicles as a mundane entitlement of adulthood and the State supports such a view with it's lax management of operational licensure.

Tesla has chosen to brand a system as autopilot, understanding full well what implications are bound to that word. In doing so, they have intentionally fostered the expectation of function associated with an autopilot system. If the system does not offer the functionality described, and the branding remains unchanged, then despite any wink and nod fines print disclaimers, expectations will continue to be held - particularly among those who are of limited cognitive potential, including entire racial populations who have been artificially elevated, not due to merit, but social blackmail and activist ideologies.

The average car driver isn't familiar with jet airplanes and what autopilot does. What I still interpret that to mean for commercial jets is where the pilot turns control over to the computer and it navigates to do things like land the plane. Of course autopilot is infinitely easier with a plane, since other planes aren't anywhere near you thanks to the air traffic controllers, and there's lots of space when you're in three dimensions.
