We are nowhere near full-autonomous driving (from any manufacturer, despite what Musk has said is "right around the corner" for 6 years now).

Until then the driver must have his full attention on the road and must be maintaining full situational awareness even if the car has assumed control. It is highly irresponsible for anyone to do otherwise since it's literally lives at stake.
