If you attended the TMC Connect 2015 talk that discussed FCW and AEB you would have.
And some of us expected it prior to that talk as well.

Okay now that is funny! I can totally relate to that scenario.
But I'm sure that Elon has shown hands off Autopilot to males as well.
I think that when Autopilot is engaged you can keep your hands off the wheel. The text statement is just to satisfy Tesla's attorneys.
Elon: When visual cues are misleading (e.g., conflicting lane markings), car will rely on GPS to determine lane position

Regarding hands off/on:
"We're being especially cautious at this early stage. We're advising drivers to keep their hands on the wheel just in case because the software is still at an early stage. So its important that people exercise caution in the beginning."
**emphasis mine**
Sounds to me that its purely a strong suggestion at this point and not a requirement.

That's strange.. I didn't think GPS had that good resolution without assisted or differential GPS. The best I've seen the accuracy on consumer level GPS is about 9 feet. 9 feet to the left or right sounds like an accident waiting to happen.
I would NOT trust GPS to that level of accuracy (lane keeping, that is).
He mentions they are developing a high accuracy dataset of maps I believe.
All the cars will be constantly sending information to Tesla automatically so they can better develop overtime and increase accuracy. For example, if they see that drivers are taking over at a specific location, they know that the car is most likely not making the right decision at that particular location. So they will evaluate that location, fix it, and upload the change.

Elon: Side collision avoidance -- If you try to steer into a side barrier, you will feel increasing resistance in the steering wheel. You can overcome it if you want to, but ....

I think there's more going on than just that. I think they have a database and know when you are in a trouble area and turn on the "think hard" bit or something similar. But who knows.
I completely agree. This is making me very excited and impressed so far. Can't wait to see that update button.

100% Agree. I never expected the level of GPS integration and shareable data that has been presented to us today. I can only imagine what is in the future to come.
Elon on Early Access Program (beta testers): Some have had autosteer for several months [maybe only employees?], others for just a few months. The most valuable feedback has been automatic reporting of where there are trouble spots or people taking over manual steering.

Looks like they are building a really impressive crowdsourced database that is going to put them light-years ahead of competitors. Love this company!

So, will this be the first car out there with this type of technology? I keep finding conflicting information online (and a question even was arised in the conference call). What differentiates Tesla's autopilot from what Mercedes and Audi can do. Do they already have technology that is hands off and follows the lane?

Car will improve week by week, even without a software update, just based upon the collective data from all of the other cars. Insane.

Good Article on The Hands on the wheel statement vs real world driving hands free...
I went hands-free in Tesla's Model S with Autopilot in Palo Alto

Well that one is true.
S70 230 miles
S70D 240 miles
S85 265 miles
S85D 270 miles
in both cases adding the second motor increased range which means they did overcome the weight disadvantage.
