Model 3 is on autopilot over 90% of the time. Meaning it is handling the mechanics of steering and acceleration.

The risk of using the touchscreen in my Tesla vs using a tactile control in a traditional car is night and day in favor of the Tesla. Even if you have to look at the screen and not tactile controls.

It sounds like you are abusing the autopilot for something it wasn't intended to be used for.

Not at all. I am fully in control of the vehicle and paying attention.

I am not physically executing most maneuvers. And as a result, I am MORE alert to the conditions around me.
