What does L2+ level autonomous driving mean?
2 Answers
L2 level autonomous driving refers to partial vehicle automation, meaning both the human and the system must control the car together, as the system cannot operate the vehicle independently. Below is a partial introduction about autonomous driving: 1. Content: Includes definitions of driving automation, principles for classifying driving automation levels, elements for dividing driving automation levels, definitions for each level of driving automation, processes and methods for determining driving automation levels, and technical requirements for each level of driving automation. 2. Classification: Autonomous driving is divided into six levels from L0 to L5, where L0 represents traditional human driving without any automation, and L1 to L5 further classify the levels based on the maturity of autonomous driving.
I just drove a car equipped with an L2+ system, and it felt like having a smart co-pilot assisting me. On daily highway drives, it automatically adjusts speed to maintain a safe following distance, keeps the car steadily centered in the lane, and brakes when the vehicle ahead slows down. The upgraded version even adds automatic lane-changing functionality, safely switching lanes with blind-spot detection. This makes long-distance driving much more relaxed, especially reducing stress in traffic jams. But don’t mistake it for full self-driving—the system might falter in rainy conditions or complex intersections, so you must always keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Once, the system misjudged and braked abruptly, but I took over immediately to avoid a collision. Usage advice? Before activating it, make sure to read the vehicle manual, as operational details vary by brand. Beginners should test it on local roads first—safety comes first.
