Sure. The levels are fairly general. There's a big difference between your operation domain being a section of 280 on a sunny day and it being any paved US road so long as it's not snowing. One is mostly just interesting R&D and the other is genuinely useful to a lot of people.

The problem is that it leads people to say we'll have Level 4 in a decade or less when they mean the former case. Whereas the sort of capabilities needed for autonomous taxis are decades away.
