This isn't true at all. I have driven my Model S almost every day with autopilot for the past couple years. After getting used to it, you can very easily "feel" when turning and braking is supposed to happen and have plenty of time to take over if it doesn't. At first when I was getting used to it I would disengage frequently. Now I hardly do, and when I need to I have plenty of time to react.

Honestly the autopilot has changed my driving experience and I hate when I have to drive cars without it.

I do agree that you need to be aware of your surroundings and ready to take over, though.
