With level 2 autonomous driving systems the human is required to always be watching and ready to take over. 10 seconds is a reasonable amount of time for this transition according to Mercedes Drive Pilot system: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a39481699/what-happens-if-...

That 10s is for a L3 system -- L2 systems require the driver to maintain attention at all times. "FSD" is still a level two system.

In level two, it's not about "handing back control" -- the driver is assumed to be in control at all times, with the car assisting. If the car assists too much then people will start treating it as if it were an L3 system, but it's really not.
