What are the differences between autonomous driving L1-L5 technologies?
1 Answers
Autonomous driving L1-L5 technologies differ as follows: 1. L1 Driving Assistance: The vehicle is still controlled by the driver, but has some basic driving assistance functions. This is actually quite common now, such as cruise control and automatic parking, which fall into this category. These features only provide auxiliary support, with the driver remaining the primary operator. 2. L2 Partial Automation: The vehicle has multiple autonomous driving functions, but the driver still needs to take the lead in driving. L2 is currently the autonomous driving system equipped in most new car models on the market. 3. L3 Conditional Automation: Simply put, under L3 conditions, the driver can free their hands but must remain alert and observe at all times, like an invigilator's eagle eye, ready to take over driving at any moment—hence the term 'conditional automation.' 4. L4 High Automation: Here, the vehicle almost reaches the point of replacing the driver, much like a graduated apprentice. The driver can rest, but can also take over the vehicle if they want to experience more driving pleasure. 5. L5 Full Automation: L5 is more indulgent, meaning the vehicle has completely replaced the driver, and neither weather nor geographical factors need to be considered. In the future, cars will transform from vehicles into cabins, with intelligent computer control possible under any conditions.
