> it is not much more than Level 3.5 at the moment
It's not even level 3, and couldn't be certified as such. It's not reliable enough for the person in the driver's seat to focus their full attention elsewhere.
>> level 3 is still basically lane keeping and auto cruise control
I mean, that's very official looking. And the differentiating criteria for level 3 is "You must take over when asked" and everything 2 or below is "You must brake, steer, or accelerate as needed to ensure safety".
Am I missing something? Lane keeping, cruise control and offset keeping is level 3. That's what this feature offers according to a few posts up.
It makes no difference to the conversation. I'll stop poking the bear here.

> well yeah, that is the definition of level 3
No, it's the definition of level 2: https://www.sae.org/blog/sae-j3016-update ("example features: lane centering and adaptive cruise control at the same time")
