It's technically still a driver aid. My Volvo XC90 has autopilot, it works very well but still needs driver assistance from time to time.
In the recent self-driving Uber fatality the XC90 involved was running Uber's homegrown autopilot system, not Volvo's PilotAssist.
Nissan, Mercedes, and others have the same autopilot deal on their cars for the last 2-3 years too now. It's pretty common nowdays beyond just Tesla...scary or not.
