The original title ("Human Side of Tesla Autopilot") is much better and less click-baity.

The paper's [1] findings are pretty similar to what I've experienced after a couple months of using Autopilot, though. Today's driver-assist systems don't really lower the cognitive load of driving. I spend a little less time keeping the speed correct and staying in my lane, but that means I just spend more time looking for hazards. If anything I find the need to keep wiggling the steering wheel makes it harder for me to stop paying attention than manual driving.
