After 3 alerts, it's off until you park. There are visual cues that precede the alert though and these do not count. I don't recall how many there are and for how long, but you start by seeing a message asking to have your hands on the wheel, then a blue line at the top, them the line starts pulsing ,then you've got an audio alert that is the first strike. Three strikes during the same drive and you need to park before using autopilot again.
And those alerts don't come if you've overridden the system by putting a weight on the wheel or something.
Like an orange?
Balancing an orange on the steering wheel?
Pressing it between the spokes of the steering wheel, jamming it in place.
These days it'll detect that and shut down anyway.
I've had my hand misdetected as a 'defeat device' once.
