Why I Won't Use Self-Driving in a Car with a Steering Wheel
Self-driving tech is either all in, or you should leave it alone.
Self-driving is like being airborne in a plane. You're either flying, or you're still on the runway -- there's no in-between.
There are six levels of autonomous driving, from 0 to 5. Notably, Waymo is at Level 4, which means it can drive without human input, but only within geofenced areas and under specific conditions. In contrast, Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving are both classified as Level 2.
- Level 2: Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving
- Level 3: The car can handle all driving tasks under certain conditions, but you still need to be ready to take control when prompted
- Level 4: Waymo can drive without human input, but only within geofenced areas and under specific conditions
Author's summary: Self-driving tech should be all or nothing.
