Models equipped with L2 level autonomous driving systems include the Volkswagen Tayron, Changan CS75, Subaru XV, Geely Binrui, and Xpeng G3, among others. Autonomous driving systems are divided into six levels from L0 to L5, with specific introductions as follows: L0 level refers to driving entirely operated by the driver, including steering, braking, and throttle, all of which are judged by the driver. The vehicle is only responsible for executing commands. L0 level autonomous driving only provides warning and momentary assistance functions. L1 level involves simple auxiliary support, where the driver must still operate the vehicle. It also includes ACC adaptive cruise control, tire pressure monitoring, traffic sign recognition, traffic light recognition, automatic braking, and anti-lock braking systems. L2 level is equipped with ACC adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping systems, automatic braking assistance systems, and automatic parking systems. At L2 level, the driver can even briefly take their hands off the wheel in some situations. L3 level can basically achieve autonomous driving operations in specific environments and can automatically choose driving routes based on actual road conditions and driving environments. L4 level has basically reached the requirements of autonomous driving that people pursue, where no driver operation is needed at all, and the vehicle can make its own judgments based on the situation. L5 level is the ultimate goal of current research in autonomous driving technology. Vehicles that reach L5 level do not require any human intervention in any scenario or under any conditions, as the vehicle operates completely autonomously.

To be honest, I paid special attention to L2 autonomous driving systems when choosing a car because this feature is particularly helpful during traffic jams or long-distance driving. Many common models are equipped with it, such as Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y, which use the Autopilot system to automatically follow the car ahead and maintain lane position. Toyota's Camry and Lexus ES series come with Toyota Safety Sense, while Honda has installed Honda Sensing on the Accord and CR-V. Some Ford models, like the F-150 and Mustang Mach-E, are equipped with Co-Pilot360. These systems can basically help control speed and direction on highways, but remember to check the configuration sheet before buying, as not all configurations come standard. I think these models start at around 200,000 to 300,000 RMB, which is quite practical. Don’t just focus on the brand—test-driving them will help you see if they suit you.

As a car enthusiast, I have a good understanding of L2 systems. They mainly offer partial automation, such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Many brands have integrated these features: Mercedes-Benz has its own system in the E-Class and S-Class models; the BMW X5 and 5 Series also have excellent advanced driver assistance; the Audi A4 and Q5 come with solid packages; the Cadillac CT6's Super Cruise is quite famous. You can also look at models like the Lexus NX or Geely's Xingyue L, as their versions are quite reliable too. The key is to check the vehicle manual or ask the sales staff to ensure it's L2 level, as some base models might lack certain features. I also believe that with technological advancements, more SUVs will incorporate this function.

When choosing a family car, both my wife and I were impressed by the safety benefits of the L2 system. It can automatically decelerate on highways and alert for lane departure, such as the Honda Sensing in the Honda Odyssey, which is very user-friendly and great for family trips with kids; the Toyota Highlander's TSS system is also excellent. The Hyundai Palisade and some compact SUVs like the Subaru Forester EyeSight version are very reliable. The key is that these models are priced between 200,000 and 400,000 RMB, offering great practicality. Don't just focus on the specs; pay attention to the response speed and reliability in actual use.
