Tesla Driver Killed in Crash While Using Car's 'Autopilot'

I read another article about this earlier today, and since tintin is the only one of us with a Tesla, it would be interesting to get his opinion on the Autopilot feature and how it works.

The article I read can be found here:

In it, it states that Autopilot will check to ensure the drivers hands are on the wheel, and it will give visual and audible warnings, and will eventually slow the car down if the driver does not respond.

I have no idea what these look or sound like, but wouldn't you get annoyed with these alerts and just put your hands on the wheel? I was a passenger in a car where the driver didn't put his seat belt for about half a mile, and I found the warning noise annoying.
