It requires it, for sure, because there are still bugs and edges. It really doesn't "need" it, not for routine driving. My car drives me around now. Zero-disengagement drives are the rule now, not the exception. And where I do take control it's never really been a "safety" situation in the sense of an impending collision. It's because the car is being a jerk and not letting someone merge, or making a poor lane change, or trying to "go around" cars stopped at a light, etc...
Really, it's pretty amazing. No, it's not done. But the kind of hyperbole you're deploying there just isn't correct anymore.
Have you not had a ride yet? Seriously, call a friend and get a ride.
