They are also responsible for the test setup, the behavior and training of their employees.
If all their drivers, which ultimately are the latest safety when everything fails, are routinely not following the process that is an issue.
Maybe you need to have 2 drivers, maybe you need to randomly monitor the behavior of the driver remotely, but you have to demonstrate some active measures your took, to demonstrate the safety of the test. You cannot just say "not my fault".
I am not saying that Uber have not followed a rigorous procedure I don't know. But saying it is their fault or not seems a bit premature.

In 2012 we developed and tested a Level 3 system that would drive autonomously on the freeway in a single lane but would still require a driver to take over at a moment’s notice. During our internal testing, however, we found that human drivers over-trusted the technology and were not monitoring the roadway carefully enough to be able to safely take control when needed. > As driver-assist features become more advanced, drivers are often asked to transition from passenger to driver in a matter of seconds, often in challenging or complex situations with little context of the scene ahead. The more tasks the vehicle is responsible for, the more complicated and vulnerable this moment of transition becomes.
