Tesla should contact the design team which creates the manuals for Ikea to create a purely graphical "owners manual" clearly describing what the autopilot can and cannot do. Admittedly, a lot of the Tesla marketing seems to indicate otherwise, but the autopilot is just a very sophisticated lane and distance/speed assistant. It seems to handle the typical freeway very well, but does not promise to handle most other driving situation. For example, it does not handle any crossing traffic, nor stationary obstacles as well as debris on the road. Off the freeway it is entirely the responsibility of the driver to keep the car safe, the autopilot cannot (by design) handle most of the situations. The discussion of having the hands on the wheel is a bit a red herring. Having the hands on the wheel limits the amount of distracting things you can do while driving, but the key point is paying attention to what is going on. Hands off on an empty highway, why not? But when a truck appears on the horizon with some potential to cross - better be prepared to take action. The same applies to small country roads, and especially when the autopilot starts to warn the driver.
