Automation comes in levels and step by step.
A couple of years ago noone believed in race cars without manual gearbox and what do we see now? +6 without...;)
level one and two are for assisted driving - this is where industry stands. The full responsibility is with the driver.
level 3 means within system specs the driver can hand over control to the car. Any take over stuation has to be relaxed. Responsibility switches to the system means the car company. For major problems the driver has to stay awake to carry on driving after the hand over.
level 4 means the driver is not needed for the task. In a parking Garage this means drivers can leave the car at the entrance. For a robo taxi it means there are restrictions to e.g one city. This taxi would not even need a steering wheel.
level 5 means complete automation on any road to any destination - that might still take a while;)
Sorry to bother you with text, but automated driving is part of my life for the past 15 years...
maybe because of that I love the manual eco and the morgan;)
If there are any questions, donˋt hestate to ask or to look me up on youtube
