>Geofenced is the definition of level 4. Tesla doesn’t have a level 3 car on the market.

And levels 3/4 are useless, better served by public transit. There's a reason the Japanese/Korean manufacturers are skipping them. You either have really good level 2 (i.e. LKAS+ACC), or you go to full level 5. And Waymo/Cruise will never solve for level 5 with their approach. Tesla (and Comma) are at least working on the general solution to it.

Level 4 where the geofence is "all major cities and highways" would be immensely useful.

Toyota partnered with Pony.ai and have a fleet of level 4 taxis operating in all major cities(eg: Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen) in China. Honda has level 3 self driving cars on the market in Japan that you can buy today. Kia is working on a level 3 car and also announced level 4 taxi plans. Hyundai also has plans to add level 3 functionality to their cars.


You can take a public transit to the airport. I’ll take a Waymo taxi.


Is this supposed to be an argument? Some sort of elitism about public transit?
