Short Thoughts #1 - Theses Are The 5 Layers Of Self-Driving Automation (For When AI Drives You To Work)

Disruptors and curious minds. There are 5 layers of automation in the automotive (that's cars to you and me) industry... And you can't buy a level5 car. Even in San Francisco. We tell you why. This week's guest is Barry Lunn, CEO and Founder of Provizio. Listen To The Full Episode HERE He outlines the five layers. Level 0: The driver is in control at all times. Features are limited to providing warnings. Layer 1: Assistance. Features are limited to steering, brake/acceleration support to the driver. Layer 2: Partial Automation. Features provide supervised steering and brake/acceleration support to the driver. L2+ extends operational comfort and safety. Layer 3: Conditional Automation - The driver is not always in control or monitoring. Features include low speed fully automated driving. Level 3+ means extended operational conditions. Layer 4: High Automation - The vehicle can drive completely autonomously in certain GEO-fenced areas. Layer 5: Full Automation - The vehicle can drive completely autonomously in any scenario. All occupants are passengers. Why are most car companies are still at Level 2? What are the challenges of reaching higher levels of autonomy?
