you're still supposed to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road at all times

...and be ready to correct it should it try to steer into objects. IMHO that's even worse than plain old "manual" driving --- at least in that case, the car doesn't have a mind of its own and won't suddenly decide to steer itself. It'll keep going in a straight line even if (absolutely not recommended on a public road, but a good way of checking the suspension and steering) you take your hands off the wheel.

To me, it sounds more like driving with Tesla autopilot is like being a driving instructor for a not-too-great learner.
