I have a Model 3 and use Autopilot on a daily basis. I think the key to using it properly is understanding its limitations. I always keep an eye on the road and traffic conditions and anticipate if Autopilot can handle a situation or not so I can be ready take over. I would say it can handle 70-80% of driving without issue, it's the last 20-30% I keep an eye out for when I am using it.

It's made me a better driver, I'm no longer a speed demon or care if people cut me off or get in front of me in traffic. It's like being chauffeured, I am less emotionally involved with the driving process.

have you had a situation where you've had to take over control at short notice? if so what happened?

Absolutely, times where the road markings are a mess can make Autopilot go crazy where it can't decide which 'lane' to stay in, I've also experienced the whole veering toward the concrete barrier. Each time I was able to anticipate that Autopilot would have trouble with what was coming up and took over when it did, you just have to apply a bit of force to the steering wheel and Autopilot makes an auditory and visual alert and disengages. I usually reengage after the danger has passed.
