Sounds like Tesla should market it as adaptive cruise and lane assist, since clearly their clientel think autopilot means autonomous driving.

We're getting to the point where these features might need to be locked behind a specific driving license designation. Drivers need to demonstrate to a proctor that they understand where the systems do and do not work.

We already have license classifications for commercial equipment and motorcycles, having one for automated features seems fairly justifiable at this point.
