> ...is not a realistic concern given that a driver can easily override Autopilot at any time by using the steering wheel or brakes and should always be prepared to do so

This seems too dismissive on Tesla's part. If I am looking to add this option, and I am expected to be just as vigilant with Autopilot engaged as with it not engaged, why bother?

Have you tried Autopilot yet? If you use it long enough, you'll probably have to take over sometimes because AP is not perfect. It's annoying when it happens and can be dangerous but despite that, Autopilot still makes driving less tiring. It's good enough that you're happy to drive a little slower, because you know you will feel well rested when you arrive at destination. All in all, it really makes driving safer over time.
