No, I think many people just don't like the term and so decided everyone is confused by it. They're not.
It's not self-driving, it's autopilot. That's the contrast they're drawing, and it actually IS clear to the car-buying public. A car is the second biggest single purchase you're going to make in your life, so people aren't going to /not/ figure out what the term means before buying the car.
