Aren't you describing Level 5?
From what I see online, Level 4 means
"The car can operate without human input or oversight but only under select conditions defined by factors such as road type or geographic area"
Waymo has been operating geo-fenced self-driving cars without drivers present. It may not handle complex situations, but that isn't expected out of L4.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoLevel 5 means full autonomy over all known driving conditions. Including dirt roads, etc. Otherwise there would need to be a level 6.
- sangnoir 4y agoWhat's the difference between "all normal driving conditions" (your definition of Level 4) and "all known driving conditions" (your definition of L5)?
- MichaelZuo 4y agoThese are not my definitions, they are the SAE's definitions. As anyone can verify themselves by visiting SAE.org
- amf12 4y agoEven with SAE's definition, Waymo seems to be at L4: https://www.sae.org/blog/sae-j3016-update https://www.sae.org/blog/sae-j3016-update
- MichaelZuo 4y agoIt would only be the case if their claim is solely evaluated within certain limited areas. With the rest of the road network being ignored.
