If you're the driver of a car you're supposed to ensure safety by looking out, not verifying sensory information. If Uber designed their cars to show a rendering of the computer's perception to the driver, or other sensory output, they would violate that principle.

To me it looks like the guy is just falling asleep at a boring job. In all likelihood that was not an engineer more than any other taxi driver is an engineer.

If you're the driver of a car...

The software is the "driver" of this car. Not the human behind the wheel. Take a look at job descriptions [0] for this. They always include a bit about "operating in vehicle computers". The fact, we don't know what the person is doing.

From that description: "Ensure the safe operation of our test vehicles on public roads."

I don't know about current regulations. Are companies now allowed to operate autonomous cars without a driver that pays attention?
