Auto pilot != Self driving. People love to conflate these two so much that the people saying it rely on everybody else conflating it to justify their ignorance.
This is just like Fox "some people say" - Fox people say!
Or Javascript Bitcoin miners - Monero is not Bitcoin!
It's snowing so there is no global warming - It is "climate change" but the entire globe is warming!
This hurricane is just weather, not climate change - it is the 10th 1 in 500 year hurricane we have had this month!
I could go on. Sure, talking about the future self driving features (and selling them) is poor form to avoid this from Tesla, so they aren't helping - but they have always been clear that it is not self driving. It is the listeners/ readers that are incorrectly connecting the dots.
