I think there's a pretty clear distinction between autopilot and fully-autonomous vehicles, so I'm not too worried about this setting bad precedent. With autopilot, there is a human driver who is responsible for everything the vehicle does, and autopilot is there to help out to the extent that it can. With fully-autonomous vehicles, every human in the car is a passenger, so it's fine for everyone to be asleep.
