Isn't it the drivers job to take control whenever there is a design flaw? I thought that was the exact job description.
If the car is going over it's speed limit, the driver should react.
I see that some people think Uber should have added systems to control the safety driver. I think that's a fair point, but it doesn't take away the drivers responsibility. They knew the car isn't perfect. It's their job to take over control whenever that happens.

Automation complacency is well-known and well-studied -- any system which requires no input for an hour and then requires you to act randomly within seconds is an impossible task for humans. Volvo's self-driving (hands-on-wheel required) accounts for that. Uber's did not.
