I don’t think it’s as black-and-white as you claim. Suppose a driver is inattentive at some moment with probability x, and conditions where inattentiveness would lead to a crash exist with probability y, then a probability of a crash at that moment is xy. Probably, both x and y are > 0 for all drivers, but xy could be low enough that an accident never occurs.
The driver has no reliable way of estimating x or y and therefore can’t judge the risk of their lack of attention causing a crash. Maybe they “shouldn’t” be driving according to this formula, but they don’t know that, and autosteer could save them from an accident.
Most likely, the presence of autopilot increases x and decreases y. We can’t tell which affect dominates by arguing on the internet. We need data.

What would the risk be if violating that provision? Breach of contract that may just give the client an out, or something like fraud that may put the contractor in jail?
