Yes they are. There are two tiers of autopilot functionality. Basic and Advanced. This is part of the Advanced Autopilot tier.

Telsa refers to those features as “autopilot”, and this former employee is referring those features as “autopilot” in his whistle blower claims.

It's called "Enhanced Autopilot" and is distinctly different from "AutoPilot".
