The UK wants people and businesses who buy type approved cars fitted with Remote Control Parking (RCP) and Motorway Assist (MA) technologies to use them in a safe, legally compliant manner. Therefore, it launched a public consultation to amend the Highway Code and Construction & Use Regulations to align with international regulations which allow automated steering […]
Drivers will be able to experience Conditional automation (SAE Level 3) for the first time in 2018. But validation requirements and safety regulation will restrict customer availability- at least for the first half of 2018. SAE Level 3 systems combine enhanced levels of sensor redundancy and robustness to be able to control steering, braking and accelerating […]
Safety regulation is a major driver for the V2X market given its influence in the technology medium so that all vehicles speak the “same language”, and the associated infrastructure. With ITS-G5 (DSRC in the US) deployment and crucial supporting infrastructure being in their infancy, but substantial investment already scheduled for the coming years, today is […]
Deployment of higher levels of autonomy, SAE Level 3-5, is subject to national regulatory approval with inherent differences in the way regulation works in the USA versus Europe and China; USA’s approach to Autonomous Driving is key for harmonisation of safe and secure ADS testing and deployment but USA seems to follow a standalone policy to […]
July 11’s launch of the first-ever Level 3 capable car marks a new era in Autonomous Driving. However, L3 deployment is still subject to regulatory approval. What’s more, the regulatory and legal framework differs across leading car markets. Here are some insights on which geographies present the most favourable environment for L3 deployment. Highly-automated driving […]
ADAS & Automated Driving features increasingly become key product differentiators With Audi teasing its upcoming A8 with emphasis on automated driving capabilities, we present some findings from our latest report on key ADAS feature penetration and their growth potential over the next five years. Audi’s new flagship will be the first vehicle to feature a […]
Extensive data recording of “critical events” while in Level 3 to assist in accident reconstruction and liability Today, in Level 0-2, the driver’s inattention at any given point in time triggers his liability Level 3- Conditional “eyes-off”, hitting the road by the end of 2017, has implications for the determination of liability because the driver will […]
Learn about leading OEMs’ ADAS & Autonomous Driving roadmap and strategies Auto2x’s latest report examines the current status of autonomous vehicle deployment including the ADAS&AD portfolio of 24 leading OEMs, the engineering and regulatory challenges for high levels of autonomy and the business models to overcome and monetise them. Finally, we provide a technological roadmap […]
Current ADAS Level 2 systems assist but do not substitute the driver, i.e. provide longitudinal and lateral assistance enabling some limited hands-off driving but drivers must always be in control -due to regulation and system capabilities L3 systems, enabling the car to take control of the driving and monitoring task, will hit the road this […]
Partially-automated model availability more than doubled in 2016 The number of models offering Partially-automated driving capabilities (Level 2-D) as standard or optional equipment rose by 144.4% in 2016 to 22 models, from just 9 in 2015. Growth was primarily driven by European automakers’ strategy to expand Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) offerings across their model range. […]
