What are the levels of autonomous driving in cars?
1 Answers
The purpose of the autonomous driving classification system is to supervise and manage the market. Currently, the classification system for autonomous driving is primarily composed of two organizations. The SAE autonomous driving classification ranges from L0 to L5, divided into six levels based on the degree of automation, from zero to full automation. L0 represents traditional driving systems without any autonomous driving features, while L1-L5 are classifications based on the configuration and maturity of autonomous driving technology. L1 level: Capable of assisting the driver in completing certain driving tasks, such as the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) function installed in many car models, which uses radar to control the distance between vehicles and adjust speed in real-time. This feature is widely applied in many domestic car models. L2 level: Can automatically complete certain driving tasks and, through processing and analysis, automatically adjust the vehicle's state. Features like Tesla's Lane Keeping Assist fall under this level, where besides controlling acceleration and deceleration, it can also manage steering. However, the driver must still monitor the surroundings to ensure safe vehicle operation. L3 level: At this level, the vehicle is controlled by a more logical driving computer, and the driver does not need to keep hands and feet ready. The vehicle can independently complete driving operations under specific conditions. However, the driver cannot sleep or rest and must take over when the artificial intelligence cannot make accurate judgments. The recently launched BMW X7 claims to have achieved autonomous driving at this technical level.
