3E Emergence of Autonomous Vehicles Flashcards
At which levels do we speak of autonomous driving?
L3-L5
What is L0?
manual driving
What is L1?
Auxiliary driving
- Auxiliary driving system can control either steering wheel or speed
What is L2?
Partially autonomous driving
- Auxiliary driving system can control both steering wheel and speed
What is L3?
Autonomous driving under conditions
- autonomous driving system drives
- driver steps in based on system requests
Can L3 be solved with current technology?
- Below L3 can be solved with current technology
What is L4?
Highly autonomous
- drivers do not have to respond
- limited road and conditions
What is L5?
Highly autonomous
- drivers may take control, if option available
- adapts to all roads and conditions
Until when should L5 be realized?
Until 2035 is the challenge
What do levels L3 and L4 require
further technological development and key legal foundation
What can the ultrasonic sensor do?
measure the position of objects very close to the vehicle
What does the multi-domain controller do?
- offers bulk data to process
For which use cases is autonomous driving the best?
- for MDT inter-city and HDT
- here there is a higher adoption
- TCO benefit from saved driver costs
- technology expected t be ready for highway use in 2030
Why is autonomous driving not so good for inner city?
- technology not ready
- additional labor needed for manual work
Why is Europe a late follower of AD?
- high complexity of legislative approval across al countries
- strong pressure of trade unions may slow down AD adoption
