This is wrong, only the shittiest self driving in name only systems have that behavior. Any real attempts at it (i.e. not Tesla or comma) do not expect or require a human takeover immediately. For example, Cruise and waymo don't even have humans to take over, MB has a 10 second warning (and actually the human doesn't even need to takeover at that point, the system will slowly bring the car to a stop).

Well as we see Cruise's solution is to stop dead in the middle of the street until a service team comes out to resolve. If there was a human driver they would be handing back control.

Probably pretty fun if you happen to be a passenger when this happens.
