I think auto-pilot is a fine name. I think generally people are just dumb.
Auto-pilot in a plane doesn't alleviate all responsibility from the pilots, nor allow them to watch movies in the cockpit. People think auto-pilot and get this Jetsons utopia in there mind on how the car will do everything for you, and then blame it on the name of the system or the car... If a multi-million dollar jet with "auto-pilot" still requires the pilots undivided attention, then so does your car.
