Aren’t level 4 systems still illegal in the US anyway?

How can something that does not exist be illegal?

[–] JustAnotherKay 6 points 5 months ago

By creating regulations that apply to the creation of those things? Level 1 AVs exist and as such regulations exist for AVs. These regulations apply to level 4 AVs despite being mostly theoretical.

The other commenter in this thread basically already answered this as well by talking about how manufacturers need to prove the safety of it before it can be green it.
