So level 3 vs level 4 autonomy, in other words? Usually when people use the word "automated", they imply level 4.

I agree any sort of driver assistance tech at level 3 and below is beneficial for public safety, I am not sure it's an industry game changer.

The levels overlap and vary by environment. Your truck can be level 5 on long stretch of highway, but then ring alarm bells and (if necessary, if the driver does not take over) slow down to a graceful stop on the shoulder before exiting the highway or maneuvering through a checkpoint or delivery.
