Pilots require years of specialized training. Airplane autopilots have been around for decades and you aren't going to have an issue with unskilled pilots attempting to rely on them for things they can't handle based on a name alone.

Also, airplane autopilots do fly the plane for you (including take-off and landing). They can certainly do so more safely than Tesla's "autopilot" does. A lot of this has to do with the aviation environment being much more controlled.

This whole comment thread seems like a distraction in the form of a non sequitur, though. If Tesla is falsely claiming capabilities that their system does not actually possess right in the name, and that causes deaths, then they could easily be liable, and at a minimum they need to stop.
