Level 3: the "you need to stay awake even though you have absolutely nothing to do" mode.
Probably going to turn out to be the most dangerous.
I am planning on dying in my sleep, but not because a Level 3 autonomous car decided to throw a "Can't handle reality" exception.
(This somewhat tongue in cheek response should in no way be read as denigrating the awesome technical achievement Level 3 represents. All speed to Level 4 and Level 5)
My Audi A3 has traffic jam assist and can drive itself in traffic jams as well. Above 20km/h it'll require steering input every ~12 seconds, but not below. When it does not receive steering input it'll turn on the hazard lights and slowly come to a stop without leaving the lane it's in.
Sensors: all-around ultrasonic, 1 monochrome camera, 1 front radar.
