My vehicle can do almost all the same stuff as "autopilot" but it turns the autosteering and cruise off if I dont touch the wheel every 30 seconds. Its all the same types of sensors,etc. And mine isn't even a luxury brand. Just the higher end trim package of a budget vehicle.

edit: actually, it's just 10 seconds before the warning and another 5 or so before it disables lane-keeping

Autopilot also shuts off with no driver input. Faster than 30 seconds too.
