One of our suggestions on innovation was to have fully autonomous driving trucks. Well we all know that that is not perfected yet. It is predicted that by 2032, we will have fully autonomous cars. So this is what the vehicle industry did. As always it created levels of self-driving to make sure that someone could say that it has a “self-driving” car. First and foremost was Tesla and people who bought the car paid for “self-driving”, but if you have to stay aware and alert as though you were driving behind the wheel then you might as well drive. If your hand is off of the steering wheel for so many seconds, the car begins to slow down. Because the automotive industry just couldn’t get it right, it came up with levels of automation. There are six levels of driving automation and the most we have gotten to is number 3 which is “conditional automation”. Conditional automation is envionmental detection capabilities. The vehicle can perform most driving tasks, but human override is still required.
I really think that the car industry should have just waited to sell this, but try to perfect it all the while. My opinion is that innovation is either hot or cold, yes or no. Conditional automation…no. It is not the same as fully autonomous cars, not by a long shot. It is the stuff that you saw on the “The Jetsons”.
