In terms of convenience, it can be irrelevant.

However, in terms of technology, level 5 is a big step up.

Consider for instance that a level 4 system can assume that the ground is purely flat (an assumption that Tesla’s FSD vector space makes), while a level 5 system needs 3D information to navigate some vertically-diverse terrain.

There is a full document available on the SAE website with full descriptions and technical details. Its much better than the common summaries.
