Thanks for entering the conversation when you did. I hope you'll entertain it for a little longer, but if not, no worries.
I'm just thinking, what if those conditions don't prohibit a truck from operating outside of a locale, but rather, they prohibit a truck from operating on anything but certain prescribed routes, on interstates, connecting ports and rail terminals and distribution centers, in the right lane only, in daylight, and in good weather conditions only? Is that level 5? It doesn't sound like level 5 to me. It sounds like level 4. And yet, it also sounds like it would still be very useful to someone running a fleet of trucks.
So again, I'm not persuaded level 5 is necessary for autonomous trucks. Some kinds of trucking would be excluded until we get to level 5, but that still leaves some useful trucking that could be handled by level 4.

- dventimi 3y agoHaha yep. Like a bar pilot.
