Which technology is used in autonomous driving?
1 Answers
Autonomous driving itself is a technology, and it is divided into several levels, each with different principles and technologies used. The following is an introduction to the levels of autonomous driving technology: 1. Level 0: No automation. The driver is in full control of all mechanical and physical functions of the vehicle, with only alarms as assistance. 2. Level 1: Driver assistance. The driver operates the vehicle, but individual systems can sometimes intervene, such as Electronic Stability Program (ESP) or Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to enhance driving safety. 3. Level 2: Partial automation. The driver is primarily in control, but the system can automate certain functions to significantly reduce the operational burden, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) combined with automatic following and lane departure warning, while the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system integrates technologies like blind-spot detection and collision avoidance. 4. Level 3: Conditional automation. The driver must be ready to take control at any time. During autonomous driving assistance, such as when following a vehicle, the driver can temporarily be free from operation, but when the vehicle detects a situation requiring driver intervention, it will immediately return control to the driver, who must take over in scenarios the system cannot handle.
