Two people killed in fiery Tesla crash with no one...
Because it is similar to an actual autopilot. Aircraft autopilots are also not fully-autonomous, and basically just follow a predetermined course.

Turns out following a pre-determined course on the streets is harder.

Which makes what Tesla calls “autopilot” all the more appropriate IMO. Both will get you _most_ of the way from A to B, while you have to pay very close attention at any critical point, and generally supervise it at all times.
