AFAIK their driver monitoring is very good and checks if you're looking at the road, so I wonder how this happened.

  Humans have a remarkable ability to be apparently cognizant and engaged with tasks, without actually using higher level awareness. One example of this is distracted driving while talking handsfree or lost in thought.
  Driver monitoring is better than nothing, but it's not the same thing as an engaged driver.
