The corporate value of an autonomous driving technology company depends less on how far it has traveled and more on its ability to replicate safety with the driver absent and convert this into a paid service. Since Level 4 requires vehicles to drive without driver intervention within designated operating conditions and zones, both technological maturity and operational systems must be verified.
