10 seconds

And 10s is not really a lot of time for even the best autopilot to take corrective action,

Ten seconds is a hell of a lot of time, in traffic situations. Doing 68mph you cover 300 meter (330 yards) in that time, and if you react properly you can stop a car from that speed in a third of that distance ON A WET ROAD, including accounting for (human) reaction time.

And wetware is said to be slower than software.
