Congrats you do what is expected [0]. Most people don't and trust Autopilot way too much because it's touted as self driving which implies a level of autonomy that the Tesla system isn't at yet [1] able to achieve. Calling something self driving implies a certain level of capability and inattention that the Tesla system isn't up to yet.

[0] Well think and say you do. Most people overestimate how much attention they're actually paying.

[1] And may never be with their camera system but that's another story entirely. I'm still dubious that cameras alone provide a reliable enough picture of the environment for CV systems to go 100% self driving.

Everything about this line is unsupported supposition.

It doesn't take many videos of people asleep at the wheel [0]or slamming into the back of stationary vehicles to extrapolate from what is already know about attention while driving which is that people pay way less attention than they should for controlling multiton devices moving fast.
