Shaping the CV Future

Automated commercial vehicles offer challenges and
opportunities in simulation and data management,
standardization and cybersecurity, said COMVEC '21 panelists.
Functional safety is a major reason why autonomous-vehicle
(AV) development timelines have been
pushed back, and why SAE " Level 2-plus " driving automation
has become more of a focus for many companies
in the near term. " There still is some focus on Level 4
for the future, but it's basically on the backburner, " said
Suga Ragunathan, director at KPIT, a software development
and integration company that assists OEMs
and suppliers with advanced driver-assistance system
(ADAS) and AV validation.
Do industry experts realistically envision the
deployment of fully-automated Class 8 trucks? This
question was posed at the SAE COMVEC 2021
conference. The consensus: " Yes, but... " Anupam
Gangopadhyay, engineering director for controls and
software at Navistar, summed it up: " It's all in the ODD
[operational design domain]. "
Navistar does not yet offer full SAE L2 capability,
Gangopadhyay said. Lane-centering, which proactively
keeps the vehicle centered within its lane, is not yet
available on its trucks but " that's obviously coming. It's in
the works, " he said. " As we go to L4, for us it's going to be
a truck driving on a freeway that is manageable without
touching areas where our ODD cannot support it. "
Stephan Olsen, general manager at PACCAR
Innovation Center, agreed. " It's not going to be a lightswitch
event, " he said. " It's going to start in the well-understood
ODD [scenarios] - I-10 [which runs from
FedEx has teamed with Aurora and PACCAR to actively test autonomous
operations on parcel routes in Texas between Dallas and Houston.
Santa Monica, Calif. to Jacksonville, Florida], Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona where there's good weather,
defined A-to-B points. As the technology matures, it'll
grow from there. "
The " middle mile " ODD is not necessarily
" low-hanging fruit, " but it is " the next fruit to be
picked " in L4 on-highway autonomy, according to
Olsen. " Today, there's a driver shortage - that's one
of the top three issues that any fleet operator will tell
