While there are a couple of companies that have developed L3 functionalities, the majority of the industry is very hesitant to go from L2 to L2+, with some inventing new names to like L2++ to avoid the legal conflict of going into L3, where right now responsibility and ownership of failures moves from the driver to the manufacturer.

One of the big questions right now is ‘What does getting from level two to level three actually mean?’

• This opening presentation sees an expert clearly define what L2, L2+ and L3 means, which automated driving functionalities fall under each level, and what needs to happen to go from level two, to two plus, and to level three. 

We’re giving you the opportunity to hear lesson learned from companies that are actually doing the work; see automotive visionaries on stage as they share details on what they are doing, how they are doing it, what challenges they are facing when deploying AD functionalities and how they are solving them.

• Hear the OEMs complete lifecycle journey from end-to-end system design to deployment.
• Understand what first-data is telling OEMs about automated driving functionalities; are vehicles performing as OEMs envisioned? What does data tell us about vehicle performance, safety features and specific events including accidents.
• Understand what type of data is crucial to have to measure system performance.
• Learn which type of data is currently missing and would be a must-have to use to as key performance indicator.
• Get details on what lessons have been learned post-deployment in relation to the OEM’s simulation, testing and validation methodologies.
• Hear recommendations on how to make the journey towards higher levels of autonomy, and the merits/demerits of adopting specific pathways.
