> Otherwise, you're implyjng that the developer of that technology would either release the technology as completely driverless or not release it at all.

In some ways that statement is true. Ford and a number of other companies refuse to implement level 3 automation -- because of the switch-over costs and human-vehicle communication impedances which would almost certainly lead to more accidents.

You misunderstood that statement and said the exact opposite.

They refuse to implement level 3 automation, instead they roll out the same technology as driver assistance technology (level 1-2).

Find me a company that says that they have mind blowing level 3-4 technology and will not make assistive technology is with it. Ahh, there is one, Tesla. Autosteer is just lane keeping assist, but admitting that would mean Tesla can't claim to be futuristic. Why Tesla makes the claim "twice as safe as human" and refuses to give out assistive versions of it's technologies is horribly misleading bullshit.

Yup. If the computer works fine 99.9% of the time, there's just no way to keep the meat paying attention so it's there when that .1% situation pops up.
