The wireless update of vehicles to Version 7.0 of Tesla software enabled properly equipped cars to steer, switch lanes, and manage speed on its own. A number of Tesla drivers immediately took to the road to test the limits of Autopilot—taking their hands fully off the wheel and seeing how far the car could drive itself down highways, country lanes, and suburban streets.
That led to dangerous situations and near accidents, as evidenced by videos made by drivers (while driving) and posted to YouTube.

What about a robotic voice: "Put your hands back to the wheel. You have ten seconds to comply."

Perhaps because it makes for a poor product?

No, what makes for a poor product is when it zaps the dog collar you're wearing to gain compliance.
