If anything, I think your example underlines just how valuable and realistic this is for cars.
Full autonomy was always, IMHO, a silly pipe dream. But that doesn't mean that there isn't tremendous value -- in terms of safety, time, money and environment -- to partial autonomy.

Cars are not planes and driving involves constant encounters with potential collisions and which would make level 5 too difficult technically and socially rendering them too costly to be valuable.
