What Level of Autonomous Driving Does Tesla Belong To?
1 Answers
Tesla's autonomous driving technology belongs to Level 2 (L2). Level 2 autonomous driving is not fully autonomous and requires the driver to remain attentive. Below is an introduction to the levels of autonomous driving technology: 1. Level 0: No automation. The driver must control all mechanical and physical functions of the vehicle at all times, with only alarms as assistance. 2. Level 1: The driver operates the vehicle, but individual devices can sometimes assist, such as Electronic Stability Program (ESP) or Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), which help with driving safety. 3. Level 2: The driver primarily controls the vehicle, but the system offers partial automation to significantly reduce the operational burden, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) combined with automatic following and lane departure warning, while the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system integrates blind-spot detection and partial collision avoidance technology. 4. Level 3: The driver must be ready to take control at any time. During autonomous driving assistance, such as when following another vehicle, the driver can be temporarily relieved of operation, but when the car detects a situation requiring driver intervention, it will immediately return control to the driver, who must take over to handle situations the system cannot manage.
