Why can you give them shit for calling it autopilot?
The only other context where we currently use "autopilot" is in aircraft, and Tesla autopilot demonstrates a significantly higher level of autonomy than the autopilot of your average aircraft.

I'd actually compare the Boeing "assistance" to the Tesla "assistance" as sometimes the craft will decide to steer into solid objects based on misinterpreted sensors. But the comparison is a stretch.
Namely, that the skies are clear.
In conclusion there are few similarities between an aircraft pilot and driving assistance in cars.
