"The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat."
I did find what you are referring to, however.
There is a video ( https://vimeo.com/192179726 ) embedded below "Future of Driving" section of the autopilot page. When you hit play the first message presented is:
"The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself"
That video with that statement is still on the autopilot page as of me writing this.
While a subtle nuance, I believe that wording is specific to the video demonstration ie. "what you are watching is completely automated, but if we filmed it without a person in the seat we would get in trouble" instead of "anyone can run Tesla without a driver, we just < wink wink > tell you to be in the driver's seat for legal reasons."
