The "car" icon is bad, but I think a cpu icon would be even worse. That toggle doesn't turn your cpu on or off, it lets the system automatically figure out something. That's why the car icon was sort of good, it was consistent for all automatic actions (auto naming materials and textures, automatic thread setting, ...)
