Actually, those systems are designed as backup. They are designed as backup, when the driver does not react. That is the reason why they warn first and initiate an emergency brake only, and only if an accident becomes unavoidable. So that would, if the automated tech from Uber would have detected in time, it would have reacted like a human driver and the pre-installed system would may have not noticed it. But in case, it would have reacted as a backup.

On the two occasions my Volvo has decided to take over (both admittedly due to overhanging bushes in a parking space), it has taken over control immediately and entirely. There is no warning.

  No warning necessary because self driving cars are completely capable of being programmed to deal with varying ability to control the car. It can still have an intention whether or not the car is allowing it to proceed. It needs to make a best effort, allowing failure when a backup system takes control.
