AC auto mode is not a Tesla special thing. Most car AC have had this setting or button for many years. E.g. a 2011 Ford Territory has it.

The AC auto button takes the needed action to get to the temperature you set. In On Tesla this was mostly set and forget.

Lexus has had this since 1991 or earlier. Except Lexus also had actual dedicated buttons, because sometimes you want to tweak it (due to sunlight or whatever clothing you were wearing or your mood).
