For driving cars SAE Level 3 Automation level (expectation that the human driver will respond appropriately to a request to intervene) is dangerous fools errand. Humans either drive the car with light assistance or the automation must care of everything without human fallback.

The middle ground SAE Levels 2 and 3 are inherently dangerous because human cognition and psychology.

The human-automation interaction is very critical issue that connects the both cases.
