Indeed, and that's the issue here, because what people know about a given car is what marketing tells them.

Not everybody out there even knows there are "autonomy levels". You tell them "autonomous", and with some movies helping, they imagine their car has an invisible chauffeur (the dummy which inflates behind the wheel is probably an option).
