No, autopilot does not allow for a driver to completely disengage their attention. That's what they want to get to but that's not where we are. You still have to drive the car, you still have to be in control.
This is the driver's fault.
I hope Tesla wins this one. We need to set a precedent for this, you can't be out here driving high, drunk or any type of impairment and just assume you can get around that by your cars technology.
Granted I agree that the car should slow down, put hazards on and pull you off if you don't respond by a certain timeframe. There are a few brands that do that and it should be standard.
