> "we're not at level 5 driving yet" despite having hundreds of millions of miles driven autonomously every day Those are two very different things; you know that, right? You could even drive billions of miles, but that doesn't mean we have attained Level 5. Level 5 definition: https://www.zf.com/products/en/cars/stories/6_levels_of_auto... | ||

Thats kind of missing the point. There's nothing magical about "level 5". This is stupid academic nonsense, not an objective test or anything that can be measured: > The vehicle can drive anywhere in road traffic and under all conditions without human beings. I can't drive anywhere in road traffic under all conditions so I guess i'm not level 5? What piece of technology doesn't ever fail or require some kind of human intervention. I don't even think I trust my toaster when I'm out of the room. Self driving is very much here. Sometimes it fails, because it's technology. The reason steering wheels exist is due to regulations. There are some Chinese cars like Apollo RT6 with a detachable steering wheel | ||
