There are plenty of video interviews where Musk himself shows using auto pilot with his hands off the wheel.

It's even on their official sites demo video! As shared in another comment https://www.tesla.com/autopilot
It clearly states that the functionality in the video is coming in a future update. Its a video showing what the model 3 hardware is capable of once the software and regulation catches up.
No it doesn't.

On the Model S page one feature is called "Autopilot: Future of Driving".

The Autopilot page then leads with a still shot of a driver not touching the wheel. If you press play it says "He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself".

Sure, about 2/3 page lengths further down, hidden in the middle of a paragraph, it caveats it. But unless you read the fine-print, it's advertising hands free driving.

> once the software and regulation catches up.

What regulation needs to catch up?

There is none.
Every single automaker demos their lane-keeping technology with hands off the wheel.
Show me.
