Is "autocar" a thing?

The ambiguity between automatic/automobile/autonomous really makes me hope a better word surfaces.

Self-driving car is a bit too long.

I've always been partial to "robocar". It has a nice tinge of dystopia to it.

In France a 'car' is a name for non public buses, a diminutive of 'autocar'.

Maybe nowadays car will be demoted to semimobile, or Human Driven Car.

The cool thing being that the official launch will be the "Autobot Rollout"
