It excludes them if the user has the ability/control to navigate the 
carousel.

"so long as the information and data is adjustable or otherwise under 
the control of the end user." (from 
https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/timing-adjustable.html)

If it still auto-advances when the user explicitly moved the carousel 
slide to the one they wanted though (i.e. it doesn't stop auto-advancing 
when the user is actively interacting with it), then 2.2.1 does apply in 
my view.
