It's essentially the same thing.
"Autocross is a motorsport that consists of individual timed runs through a course laid out (using traffic cones) on a concrete or asphalt surface. The object is to drive through the course as fast as possible without missing any gates or hitting any cones."
Autocross is the internationally recognised name for the sport and when CARS decided to host their own "Autocross" in Trinidad a number of years ago, they termed it "Solodex".
