Elons statements were a bit contradictory on this point. He then goes on to say:
They get very comfortable with it and repeatedly ignore the car’s warnings. It’s like a reflex. The car will beep at them, they tug the wheel, the car will beep at them, they tug the wheel, and it becomes an unconscious reflex action. So we will see half a dozen or more, sometimes as many as 10 warning in one hour continuously ignored by the driver. We really want to avoid that situation.
Which implies "ignoring" might mean having the audio cue come up three times (I.e. "Ignoring" the visual cue). It's hard to say. How else can you "ignore" 10 warnings now and not have autopilot go into emergency stop mode?
No... by "ignoring" he means that they tugged the wheel but didn't continue to hold onto it. The warning says "Hold the wheel" - not "give the wheel a quick tug".
This is Tesla's very carefully orchestrated way of backing away from the current technique where it will only ask you to hold-on when it's getting confused. We're going to be getting timed nags.
