Like Tesla calling their driving assistance “auto-pilot”.

You mean full self driving?

“ All new Tesla cars come standard with advanced hardware capable of providing Autopilot features today, and full self-driving capabilities in the future...”

https://www.tesla.com/autopilot

You’re right Tesla is guilty of marketing features that don’t exist today but will “in the future”.

But hey they disclose the truth in the fine print (Autopilot is not autonomous), so nothing to see and god forbid we accurately call it what it is “driver assist“ instead of autopilot or even the as of yet non-existent “full self driving”:

“Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.”
