The fact that Tesla says not to take your hands off the wheel, built security for this, and have made it clear it's not at that level while people still do so is not their fault.
> The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.
Both the Center For Auto Safety and Consumer Watchdog[1] have filed claims of deceptive advertising with the FTC because of this Autopilot video. It's really reaching to claim that the video is demonstrating anything other than Autopilot.

I could completely understand a reasonable person thinking this was a demonstration of Autopilot, given it’s the primary content block on the /autopilot landing page.
What regulation needs to catch up?
On the Model S page one feature is called "Autopilot: Future of Driving".
The Autopilot page then leads with a still shot of a driver not touching the wheel. If you press play it says "He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself".
Sure, about 2/3 page lengths further down, hidden in the middle of a paragraph, it caveats it. But unless you read the fine-print, it's advertising hands free driving.
