> Germans beat Tesla to autonomous L3 driving in the Golden State
Which mashed a lot more sense since Waymo, Cruise and Zoox all have L4 autonomous cars on the road today in California operating with no human inside at all.

Wonder why you can’t buy these L4 cars. No Level 4 cars are commercially available in the US. [1]
What you are describing are pilot programs propped up with a huge, expensive, unprofitable infrastructure of remote monitoring, support vehicles, and backup drivers. Waymo’s technology might be promising, but today these companies are bleeding money.
In contrast, Mercedes is selling retail cars with Level 3 features to consumers and taking responsibility for them.
