It doesn’t have to not kill people to be an improvement, it just has to kill less people than people do

As long as there’s manual controls the driver is responsible as there supposed to be ready to take over

That doesn’t sound like a self-driving car to me.

Because it’s not, it’s a car with assisted driving, like all cars you can drive at the moment and with which, surprise surprise, you are held responsible if there’s an accident while it’s in assisted mode.

That’s a low bar when you consider how stringent airline safety is in comparison, and that kills way less people than driving does. If sensors can save people’s lives, then knowingly not including them for profit is intentionally malicious.
