Level 3+ requires AGI for unmapped non-highway roads. Change my mind.

AGI implies things like "motivations" and "feelings" not just understand of the world (i.e. beyond understanding other things "motivations" and "feelings"), it's a fundamentally different problem. Even if you think you need extremely good world understanding to make a self driving car, AGI is irrelevant (and would actually make it much scary, because an AGI is perfectly capable of deciding to intentionally kill you).

Most insightful comment my week.

Maybe we need a new catchphrase CAI comprehensive AI as an intermediate goal to AGI.

But then: maybe a car needs to understand the motivations of pedestrians and human drivers in order to predict their movements. And we are almost back to AGI requirements
