In terns of aviation the name is very appropriate. My AP follows a course. Unfortunately, my plane's AP won't slow it down if traffic in front of me slows down. Still, I think Advanced Driver Assist would have been better at conveying to most people what it is.
I agree that Advanced Driver Assist is more accurate but not a very coinable term. Interesting that the term Autopilot in the aviation world is indeed accurate to Tesla's feature. I just think the layman is more apt to link Autopilot with Autonomous driving. I see Co-Pilot isn't as accurate afterall (the computer is not an equal pilot as of yet) but it is coinable and begs driver responsibility.
