Probably because when you're off autopilot, Tesla drivers (including me) are much more alert and aware of what's going on compared to a normal car where you have to alert/aware the whole time and in so doing, tend to "zone out" when doing monotonous driving. I tend to use Autopilot for the monotonous driving parts .. and then take over myself if there is something that needs more attention (construction, weather conditions, crazy drivers, etc.)

To me, this seems to imply that you're not paying attention when Autopilot is engaged.
