Not to "lawyer" up here, but autonomous as defined in the game manual says "Robots operate without direct driver control". With Kinect the robot would be under direct driver control. It is no less direct than when a driver manipulates the robot with joysticks. In either case there is no physical contact, but driver actions cause robot reactions.
Having said all of this, control via Kinect is cool whenever it occurs.
