The OP was talking about how he views the current system operating, which is as a Driver's Assist. While we can certainly argue about the language, the perception in the non-aviation world is that autopilot means that the driver could not pay attention, more so than co- or as an assist. I am a pilot, so I understand the implications of what a co-pilot is, which is also another set of 'eyes'. The OP is not wrong in how he mentally tasks the current Tesla system in being a help while he acts as the primary driver.
