Autopilot is a particularly egregious case, though. Naming an experimental, very limited car feature after the device that flys the plane most of the time, and has for many years, really ought to have been illegal. It sets wildly inappropriate expectations.

It is more like if they called DayQuil “Tracheotomax,” because you know, it helps you breathe!
