It does, and it notified the driver multiple times. Alerts mean nothing if you ignore them

  Then it should surely assume the driver is incapacitated and stop.

If you repeatedly ignore these warnings, you will be locked out from using Autopilot during that trip.

      Guess why this was introduced! Incidents like this. Because while they were able to get away with it, and before the lawyers tapped Elon on the shoulder, those warnings only happened and only required your hands on the steering wheel _four times an hour_. There's TV interviews with Elon doing exactly that.

  IIRC after the 2nd notification, it will slow down and disengage autopilot with no ability to re-enable it until you park the car. Proactively ignoring it isn't really an option.

  This statement is misleading to false. The last notification for the cited wreck was 15 minutes prior to the crash. https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/nr20180607.aspx https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/nr20180607.as...
