I have to have my hands on the wheel and looking at the road near-constantly otherwise autopilot turns off, even if I look at my phone the car warns me to pay attention to the road. I am 100% a safer driver with autopilot on (on the highways - FSD on side streets isn’t there yet) because I can focus my attention on higher level details of my surroundings, such as a semi merging onto the highway 3 lanes over or a driver swerving in and out of traffic several cars away, instead of micromanaging the wheel and pedals to stay in my lane and a safe distance from the car in front of me - the autopilot handles that flawlessly.
