That’s the case in the US, too. The car automatically shuts off autopilot after 3 warnings of not keeping your hands on the steering wheel. It produces a loud audible alert after a few seconds if it senses the driver isn’t keeping their hands on the wheel. After the 3rd time, it continues the audible alert until the driver takes back control.

There are also several warnings about keeping your hands on the wheel and staying alert when engaging autopilot.

The people saying otherwise are either ignorant or disingenuous.
