You would think a road with few drivers would be easier for the autopilot? But maybe the road lacked lines and marking? But wouldn't you want the car to default to human control not just keep going? Any car I've had with lane keep assist turns off of it can't find the lines. It's a pretty simple failsafe. Rather have the driver a little annoyed than injured.

You can't even enable it if it can't detect lines on the road

Exactly. Not sure if there's any regulation for this but from a controls standpoint you always want to make sure you fail to a "safe" state. I'd the system can't find any of the input it needs the outcome will be unpredictable.

And the driver in the above case was holding his foot on the accelerator to override AP and stated “I expect to be the driver and be responsible for this… I was highly aware that was still my responsibility to operate the vehicle safely."
