Everyone should be very skeptical of what is going on because the process most of these companies are using to reach L3-L5 will not only fail but literally cause thousands of avoidable casualties as they move from the benign scenarios they run now to the more complex and dangerous. And finally running actual accident scenarios thousands of times to train the AI how to handle those scenarios the best they can. This is ALL avoidable if aerospace level simulation is used.

Autonomous Levels 4 and 5 will never be reached without Simulation vs Public Shadow Driving for AI. Level 2+and L3 should not be used at all.

Public Shadow Driving is Dangerous. Thousands of accidents, injuries and casualties will occur when these companies move from benign and easy scenarios to complex, dangerous and accident scenarios. And the cost in time and funding is untenable. One trillion public shadow driving miles would need to be driven at a cost of over $300B.
