In my non legal opinion, it is pretty irresponsible for a company to release an autonomous vehicle where the human driver needs to be on standby alert as a backup. It is obviously an highly failable system, and an unreasonable ask on the driver.
That's why it is in testing, and the driver is getting paid to make sure this doesn't happen. Most other companies testing have 2 operators though. One to monitor the systems, the other to take control if needed. Uber has one person doing both.
