Capitulation on “full self driving” is here. Most manufacturers will be lucky to get level 3 automation by the end of the decade

Level 3 is widely considered to be a bad idea. Relying on a driver to take over quickly is a recipe for disaster.
I suspect that the next phase is some sort of "acceptance" around the limited conditions where full autonomy might be viable in the next decade+. E.g. limited access highways in x lighting/weather conditions. Which actually seems pretty interesting. It's just probably a very big gut-punch to anyone who thought they'd never have to drive/own a car outside of some very limited areas by about now.
