The self-driving tech. only has to be better than humans to save lives, year over year.

And it's been introduced in auto-braking, lane keeping, and other tech. slowly. It's all part of a road map toward fully autonomous.

The driver "keeping their eye on the road at all times" is just a legal requirement, since the laws are a big grey area for manufacturers, at the moment.

>laws are a big grey area for manufacturers

I'm not sure they're really all that grey. They're assistive driving systems and it's the responsibility of the driver to be in full control at all times. Now, as these systems get better and more comprehensive, it's reasonable to ask whether that's a realistic expectation. But it is the law.
