so for everyone keeping score at home *cough* @CNBC *cough*
the 11 incidents included: 2 cases of DUI, 1 suspended license, 4 cases of driver inattention (of which one charged with reckless driving) and 4 unknown circumstances (i.e. no police report readily available).

Do I still need to pay attention while using Autopilot?
Yes. Autopilot is a hands-on driver assistance system that is intended to be used only with a fully attentive driver. It does not turn a Tesla into a self-driving car nor does it make a car autonomous.
