Could this be a demonstration of what people talk about with regards to partial autonomy being a detriment to human attention?
Definitely. By the time the human realises something is wrong and has to take control, it's already too late.
Incidentally, this is also why autopilots in planes have been more successful --- when something goes wrong high up in the sky, there's still relatively much time to assess the situation and react. With cars, even if the car suddenly told the driver to take over, the driver would essentially have to already be fully attentive to the situation in order to make a decision in time. It's the difference between seconds to a minute in a plane vs. fractions of a second in a car.
