'Cruise control' does not (at least it didn't until very recently) even attempt to avoid collisions with neighboring cars or keep the car in its lane. Even without navigation, autodrive in a car is a considerably more difficult problem than either cruise control or autopilot in a plane.

My point is that 'autopilot' is more like 'cruise control', and except in advanced cases, is not analagous to 'autodrive'.
