In the case of the Uber crash in Tempe, the car did kick the decision over to a human operator. However, it did so 1.3 seconds before impact. This wasn't enough time for the human to assess the situation and decide what to do.

We're talking about two different things. Uber's approach was horrific in many ways, and I agree that's bad. I'm talking about a car that is advanced enough to drive and stop safely, but may sometimes not be sure what to do, especially in situations that require social cognition.
