And that this will be the case until we reach level 5.
At that point, the mfr (or someone other than the “driver”) will be liable, since technically there is no human driver at that point.

This.
Fun story.
As I've mentioned before my brother runs the shop for FL's largest Toyotas dealership.
They had a woman come in complaining that her "autodrive" was not working.
Naturally they were a bit confused WTF she was talking about so they said "show us"
My brother went for a ride with her and she took her hands off the wheel and the car did a reasonable job of staying in the lane but obviously eventually wandered out.
The woman thought the lane departure/steer assist feature meant the car would drive itself.
They are out there.
