Reading over the SAE (J3016) Automation Levels here[1] it seems to me that the Tesla Autopilot is now into level 3, especially for highway driving. If you can go exit to exit without any direction from a human, I would definitely say level 3 has been reached. Fine details of the definition between one level and another should probably only interesting to lawyers and their clients.
Waymo not level 3? Seems they claim to be level 4 for their Phoenix rollout.

- YeGoblynQueenne 8y agoYes, they do. That's their marketing schtick. That their cars are already fully autonomous. However, that's just preposterous. It's a bit as if Boeing claimed their planes have anti-gravity because they're just better planes (I know next to nothing about planes- Boeing's name chosen completely at random). Waymo are not particularly farther than anyone else on the path to fully autonomy- they're just doing the smart thing and not trying to drive where their system can't, or leaving it to the public to test their limits.
- njarboe 8y agoMore like Boeing claimed to have anti-gravity that only worked in Seattle. Very exciting, really anti-gravity, but not yet useful for full scale implementation on planes that need to fly everywhere.
