The five levels of automated driving and how the manufacturers define them for themselves.
The driver permanently carries out the longitudinal or transverse
guidance, assistants assist him. Audi: In the A8, which came on the market in 2003, Audi used the
distance-regulators for the first time. Today, it is installed in combination with sensors (Level 2) and ensures
the correct distance to the front vehicle. BMW: In April 2000 came with the face lift of the sieve of the distance
regulating machine. Daimler: For the first time in 1962, Mercedes used the technology to
regulate the speed. From 1975 on wards the cruise control has been standardized, since 2003
the name "cruise control" has been protected by Daimler.
The system adopts a specific application but is permanently
monitored. Audi: The "Audi active lane assist" recognizes the lane
limitation, controls easily and warns by steering wheel
vibration. Since 2010 in the A7. BMW: With the traffic jam you
can "swim" in dense traffic at up to 60 km / h. The BMW Fünfer got it
in 2013. Daimler: The Steering Assistant as well as the Stop & Go
pilot have been supporting the driver in the S-Class since 2013. In the
E-Class, he has been further developed into a drive pilot since 2016 and
from summer 2017 onwards The revised S-Class.
The driver must take over the tax if the system reaches its
limits. Audi: The Staupilot in the new A8 (from autumn 2017) travels
up to 60 km / h on the motorway. The driver must be able to accept
the driver within six to eight seconds. BMW: The car runs
independently in the same restricted traffic, i.e on motorways. Level
3 comes with the BMW i Next 2021. Daimler: The driver is ready to take
over the motorway within a certain time. Daimler has not yet
announced when Level 3 will come.
In specific scenarios and within predefined limits, the car already runs
independently. Audi: The extended motorway pilot drives from the
driveway to the exit independently and recognizes construction
sites. Another scenario is the Parkhauspilot. BMW: The Munich
Under-4s understand a car which runs alone to extreme weather conditions
or complex situations such as alpine passes. Daimler: As areas of
application for Level 4, you can see vehicles that pick up the user at
home - within certain limits of the system. Outside you have to drive
yourself.
The car runs completely by itself, no driver is required from start to
finish. Audi / Volkswagen: It is difficult to estimate when
autonomous vehicles are coming onto the market. Robotaxis or
minibuses like the VW Sedric, which only drive in defined areas like the
city, will probably be more likely than vehicles, which dominate every
scenario. BMW: Between 2020 and 2030 there will be first pilot
projects on autonomous vehicles - first on the motorway, then in inner
cities. Daimler: The car controls all speed ranges, scenarios and
road types.
