There are two kinds of cars, the "golf cart" class ones that are level 4 and the SUV ones that are level 3. Both have been active around Mountain View for years (though the level 3 ones longer).
- Judgmentality 8y agoWhat makes you think the "golf carts" are level 4? Level 4 implies you don't need a driver, but I don't believe they were ever tested without drivers on public roads.

It's fairly hard to get a specific timeline of this though. Edit: also articles like this: https://www.mercurynews.com/2015/11/13/driverless-google-car-finds-itself-in-worlds-most-viral-traffic-stop/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2015/11/13/driverless-google-car... I think it's not considered "level 4" because of specific state exemption and the speed limit.
