Level 3 systems are not without their risks. Most autonomous vehicle operators, including Waymo and Cruise, have said they think Level 3 is too dangerous, preferring to work exclusively on Level 4 technology. The reason is the need for drivers to stay attentive despite the vehicle performing most of the driving tasks.
There have been studies that show that hand-off between automated system and human driver can be especially fraught.

They may overcorrect steering, brake too hard, or be unable to respond correctly because they hadn’t been paying attention.
