From wiki:
"An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of a vehicle without constant 'hands-on' control by a human operator being required."
That's the clear opposite of what Tesla's manual suggest. If it required hands-on wheel and constant attention, call it what it is -- a driver assistance system, not autopilot.

The actual implementation only requires periodic, not constant, hands-on-wheel. Although it's in the driver's interest to pay attention constantly, as evident from this accident.
