Driver assisted highway has been around for years... Level 5 driving requires no human attention. Huge difference.
I think what is wanted by many is level 5 on the highways. I want to sleep, watch a movie, whatever. That is much, much "better" than what we have now. Like many others, I would be most interested in full level 5 on highways and me driving in the city. That is also much easier to implement and test. The scope of the problem is greatly reduced. I think Tesla and others are wasting tremendous resources trying to get the in-city stuff working. It makes cool videos, but being able to do other activities during a 5 hour highway drive has much more value (to me at least) than riding inside a high risk video game on the way to work.
(edit) I get that I am misusing the definition of "level 5" a bit, but I think my meaning is clear. Rated for no human attention for the long highway portion of a trip.
