Level 4: High Automation

No More Human?


A Level 4 car is something special for sure. We are finally getting to the place where you are less of a driver and more of a passenger. Google’s Waymo is currently one of the cars that finds itself vying for the Level 4 classification.

The only reason these cars can’t take over the world is that there are still certain, and difficult, “edge cases” that they can’t handle perfectly. In those circumstances, the car must pull over and park so that the human inside can put down their smartphone, take over the wheel, and drive the car until easier driving conditions reappear.
