Do you really work that fast?

I am going to recommend (based on more than 25 yrs of experience) that you take over control of saving.

In my experience, those who expect the computer to save for them - end up losing more work than any other users.

There is no automatic save function, at least in the way you are wishing (The "Autosave" function that AutoCAD does have -- makes a *copy* of the drawing, and it gets *deleted* when you exit AutoCAD)

I suppose you could write a custom routine to do what you want, but why?
Just press Ctrl+S when you want to save - you can do it every 5 seconds if you wish.

You could probably achieve this with some scripting. 

(http://forums.augi.com/archive/index.php/t-27428.html) Saves every 10 commands

(https://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=4735.0) saves at a time interval. you can manual set the time interval. 

I would listen to the warnings of individuals who indicate that this may not be a good idea and consider what they are telling you. If you are working in a system that makes this necessary it might be work looking into addressing the problem another way.

savetime

autosave

Don't set savetime to less than 5 minutes.  The drawing will not actually be saved on a permanent basis.  It just makes a temporary copy in case your computer loses power or a catastrophic error happens. This copy can be found in your %temp% folder by default.

It is possible to set up a timed save reactor but I strongly discourage that and will not demonstrate.  As @JDMather says, you should take control over save points.  Time saves can actually destroy your drawing if you made a mistake just before a save.
