As far as I can tell there is no way to resolve this that will be effective. Google spoke about this problem publicly and why they directly targeted level 4. Train drivers are the closest thing and they have a lot of equipment that forces them to stay alert. Personally I think that autopilot should only take over when the driver is unwell or that it thinks there will be a crash. Even when driving full time drivers get distracted. So when the car is doing the driving humans will get bored and won't be able to respond in time. Autopilot however is always on and never distracted but doesn't work in some cases.

Maybe force users back in either speeds above 30, crowded places, complex topologies.

  According to these videos, auto-pilot should be turning itself off if it detects bright sunlight obscuring it's vision.

    That's good but this is based on device limitation only, not user attention and broad probability.

  Yeah - that's the best you can hope for. So regular drivers will be much worse.
