The owned vs shared debate is one of the biggest in this sector at the moment. I think that there is room for both to exist side by side, there will be those that want to own their own car and if they can afford to they will. Some won't be able to aford a self-driving car and so will maybe...

Yes that is a demo of level 4, they are in quite a controlled environment (motorway) in good weather conditions. If the demo was driving around a country lane into a city when snowing or a low winter sun on a wet road, then it could be considered much closer to level 5. Getting to level 4 is...

There will probably be tripple redundency built in. For the scenarios where even they all fail, or there really is something that the car can't figure out, some are theorising there will be a central control center with drivers to take over control. I expect level 5 cars will be fleet...
