Aside from connectivity, a variety of considerations go into defining an appropriate ODD. Vay defines the ODD based on the PEGASUS method, which structures an ODD into six layers. We consider urban streets but exclude highways and interstates. Temporary changes in the ODD such as construction sides, accidents, and other limitations do affect us the same way human drivers are affected. We can deal with temporary traffic limitations, road blockages, and other occurrences, which is a great advantage of having a trained and professional human driver in the loop, who can understand, interpret, and react to surprising and unplanned events.
