For sure the naming convention misleads people and they associate auto pilot with airplanes being on auto pilot and they think planes are flying themselves, meanwhile one of the pilots is always on duty observing everything.
You can't be serious about issuing statements in the owners manual (and on the big screen) releases Tesla from any liability. First off not every owner reads the owners manual. Second it is easy to ignore the notification on the big screen. Any lawyer will beat that argument in 5 minutes in court.
