Not sure about US laws but in Europe there's mendatory rest periods for drivers. Drive n hours, sleep/rest m hours where m is relatively large. For an autonomous vehicle that time is reduced to zero (I'd assume)

Mandatory rest exists in the US. But i assume the guy watching over the self driving car, should follow those laws.

That assumes that it needs supervision and the driver isn't just there for the first/last mile.
