While driving on the highway, the autopilot required putting your hands on the steering wheel on average every 1-3 minutes. This applied to both the slower right lane and the faster left lane.

In city traffic, he had to put his hands on the steering wheel much less often: in fact, he did it before the autopilot request came, because he had to cross a roundabout or enter traffic.

This second part of the trip is interesting in that it suggests that the autopilot has at least two evaluation criteria to check if the driver is still there. At higher speeds the time criterion seems to apply, at lower speeds the distance covered.
