There is going to be a reaction time difference between someone actively driving the vehicle and someone who is monitoring an automated system. It is human nature to get bored and not pay close enough attention. This is exactly why some of the Tesla autopilot crashes have happened in addition to the system screwing up.

The person being tested uses the joystick to center a marker in a square. The marker tends to drift away, and has to be corrected. This simulates the most basic task of flying - flying straight and level. There's an "autopilot", which can be turned on to keep the marker centered. The user can then let go of the joystick. But sometimes the "autopilot" fails, and the marker drifts out of the square. How long it takes for the subject to notice is measured. That's a good approximation for Tesla's semi-automatic driving system. There are lots of papers on this. It's well understood in aviation that takeover time after a fault is seconds to tens of seconds. [1] https://matb.larc.nasa.gov/ https://matb.larc.nasa.gov/
