Limitations of Self-Driving Technology
Self-driving tech is either fully autonomous or not worth using, as it's like being airborne in a plane - you're either flying or still on the runway.
There are six levels of autonomous driving, ranging from 0 to 5. Currently, Waymo is at Level 4, which allows driving without human input but only within specific areas and conditions.

At Level 3, the car can handle driving tasks under certain conditions, but the driver must still be prepared to take control when prompted. However, no Level 3 tech is currently legal on US roads.
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.
Author's summary: Self-driving tech is all or nothing, with current limitations making it unreliable in cars with steering wheels.
