From level 3 onwards, I think autonomy is really interesting. Everything before that is for the driver who doesn’t know 100% how his car reacts in what situation in autonomous mode, sometimes with danger or too little attention (even though level 2 can already provide relief or safety in many driving situations). GM wants to offer level 5 – autonomy in 2019: https://www.businessinsider.de/…ric-car-no-steering-wheel-2018-1?… (I think you can get away with it.)

In any case, like Toyota 2020, they want to have autonomous cars at least on highways to the Olympic Games in Japan; with what level exactly, I couldn’t find.
