road attentiveness during automated control of
braking, steering, and acceleration. As outlined in the
SAE J3016 Standard for the Levels of Driving
Automation, Level 2 driving automation requires a
driver's continual on-road supervision. In contrast, a
driver's on-road attention isn't required during
specific driving conditions of Level 3 engagement.
Level 3 driving automation became a production
While the pace of SAE Level 2
driver support vehicle
applications is ramping up, the
progression to SAE Level 3 and 4
conditional automated driving
systems is just beginning to
unwind. " Right now, there isn't a
company that's even close to
Level 5 fully automated vehicles, "
said Nick Sitarski, Vice President
& Group Manager of Integrated
Vehicle Systems for Toyota Motor
North America R&D and 13-year
SAE member.
The leap from Level 2 to Level
3 involves a significant

reality in early 2021 via the Japan market's Honda
Legend Hybrid EX equipped with the next-generation
Honda Sensing Elite system. In the Traffic Jam Assist
mode, the automated system drives the vehicle at
slow speeds in heavy traffic. Other Level 3 systems are
expected in Japan, Europe, and the U.S., although the
production application timeline is blurry. " There are
companies that have Level 4 in restricted operational
design domains, and most of those automated
systems have significant support from operators or an
operational center, " said Sitarski.
Level 2 systems are becoming more commonplace
with more features in 2021. General Motors' debut of
Super Cruise on the 2018 model year Cadillac CT6
luxury sedan essentially marked the industry's first
Level 2 hands-free driver assistance system in 2017.
Super Cruise uses adaptive cruise control, enhanced
automatic emergency braking, and lane centering
technology to enable hands-free driving on
compatible roads. Six GM 2022 model year vehicles
are available with new Super Cruise capabilities:
hands-free automatic lane change and hands-free
trailering of a boat, camper, or something else. By
2023, GM plans to introduce Super Cruise on 22
vehicle models.
Nissan's ProPILOT Assist 2.0 is a follow-up to its
first-generation system, ProPILOT Assist, that U.S.debuted
in 2017 on the 2018 model year Rogue
