Having no backup for a component involved in the steering system seems like a bad idea for any level of ADAS, including L1, and possibly even fully manual depending on how the steering system works. At least without a very thorough analysis of system behavior in various failure modes, which... is that possible in 3 weeks? But then, Boeing convinced the FAA that backups weren't necessary for the 787-MAX sensors because a component that was modifying the flight characteristics could be over-ridden by a human and therefore wasn't safety-critical... so, WCGW, really?
