According to Google it will take decades before we see fully autonomous vehicles capable of driving on all roads/conditions/cities:
In the United States, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed a formal classification system, NHTSA automated vehicle classifications:
- Level 0: The driver completely controls the vehicle at all times.
- Level 1: Individual vehicle controls are automated, such as electronic stability control automatic braking.
- Level 2: At least two controls can be automated in unison, such as adaptive cruise control in combination with lane keeping.
- Level 3: The driver can fully cede control of all safety-critical functions in certain conditions. The car senses when conditions require the driver to retake control and provides a "sufficiently comfortable transition time" for the driver to do so.
- Level 4: The vehicle performs all safety-critical functions for the entire trip, with the driver not expected to control the vehicle at any time. As this vehicle would control all functions from start to stop, including all parking functions, it could include unoccupied cars.
Today the best vehicles like Tesla, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi are sill only at level 2-3. Long way to go!
