>... works in spite of the driver

You have highlighted a fundamental misunderstanding people have about Auto Pilot in its current form it is an SAE Level 2[1] driver assistance function.

It is not supposed to be functioning in spite of the driver. The driver is in charge and should be responding to events. It is dangerous to behave otherwise - examples include pretty much all Tesla Auto Pilot attributed fatalities.

[1] Level 2: The driver is obliged to detect objects and events and respond if the automated system fails to respond properly. The automated system executes accelerating, braking, and steering. The automated system can deactivate immediately upon takeover by the driver.
