ARE TODAY'S SENSORS READY FOR next-level automated driving?

A look at who's doing what when it comes to sensors for an L3 world.

SAE Level 3 automated driving marks a clear break from the lower levels of driving assistance since that is the dividing line where the driver can be freed to focus on other things. While the driver may sometimes be required to take control again, responsibility in an accident can be shifted from the driver to the automaker and suppliers. Only a few cars have met regulatory approval for Level 3 operation. Thus far, only Honda (in Japan), the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and EQS sedans with Drive Pilot and BMW's recently introduced 7 Series offer Level 3 autonomy.

With more vehicles getting L3 technology and further automated driving skills being developed, we wanted to check in with some of the key players in this tech space and hear the latest industry thinking about best practices for ADAS and AV Sensors.
