I was driving along using AP, and I hate the nag screen when it doesn't sense torque on the wheel, so when I needed to open a bottle I used my knee to keep torque applied to the wheel... and when the camera saw my hands off the wheel it gave two swift beeps and flashed something on the screen. I was able to repeat this with just my empty hands held in front of my chest. I then made the following video:
In it, I repeat the events but holding my cell phone in front on my chest in camera view while videoing the infotainment screen. As you can see, I don't get the gradual buildup of a silent written warning to apply torque, followed by a silent flashing blue at top of the screen along with the order to apply torque to the wheel. I get two beeps and the "apply torque to wheel" flashes on the screen for a split second and then goes away. It only stayed on the screen long enough for me to read once out of the several times I tried this.
I continued to experiment and it stopped happening... not sure if it only reacts to a few events while in Beta or what.
