If a driver is using any driver assistance feature they need to be paying attention all the time. Not only is it stated in all vehicle manuals, it is the intelligent way to use the features given that automated driving is still far from perfect.

Your analogy makes no sense given that the risk is always on the driver whether there are driver assistance features or not.

Unfortunately it is very difficult to remain vigilant when the automated system seems to be doing a great job. Eventually you will become distracted.

Even in accident cases, remember that the Teslas involved are not new - they have had dozens or hundreds of successful drives before the accident.
