the reality is that driver replacement systems of any level actively shift liability towards the designer of the system, but they've got bigger lawyers than little old me or you.

Until it is explicitly expressed that a person can be in the passenger seats without a driver, or until there is no steering wheel, then it is not the manufacture's responsibility. As long as they stipulate that a driver is needed, then all the systems will be is a driver's aid.
