Autopilots are reliable in aviation because they are simple. An autopilot for road steering cannot be that simple. The term transfers badly.
It is a false dilemma to say that we need autopilots to avoid road deaths. Because assistive tech is already successfully being used for exactly this.
We want self-driving cars to avoid the drudgery of driving. But the current batch of implementations needs very controlled conditions (Waymo), or close human supervision (Tesla).
