Waymo is firmly SAE self driving level 4 "automated driving" vs Tesla at level 2 "driver support".
You're correct that waymo has operators that can jump in in the event something unusual happens, but the vast majority of the time the vehicle is operating autonomously within their defined area. All that is described by SAE level 4 where no human is driving while automatic driving is engaged.https://www.sae.org/blog/sae-j3016-update
