L3 Autonomous Driving Reliability Requires Higher Mileage

Li Wenguang, president of Intelligent Driving Products, stated that L3 conditional autonomous driving is a necessary step toward high-level automation. He noted a reliability gap between L2 assisted driving and L3 systems. Current assisted driving systems have accident takeover intervals of tens to hundreds of kilometers, whereas L3 requires hundreds of thousands of kilometers. L4 full autonomous driving requirements are ten times higher than L3 standards. Li Wenguang, president of Yiwang Intelligent Driving, noted that L3 systems require hundreds of thousands of kilometers of reliability compared to the tens or hundreds of kilometers seen in L2 systems. Yang Zhengjun, Vice General Manager of a Chinese intelligent technology firm, noted that L3 autonomous driving requires takeover intervals of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, compared to tens or hundreds of kilometers for current L2 systems. Yang Zhengjun, Deputy General Manager of Zhongqi Intelligent Technology, noted that current L2 assisted driving penetration requires a focus on integrating autonomous driving with vehicle-road coordination. He stated that future competition will center on the large-scale commercialization of L4 autonomy and dominance over international standards. L4 autonomous driving requires ten times the reliability of L3 because it necessitates no human intervention, demanding higher recognition accuracy and system redundancy. Li Wenguang stated that the increasing attack surface for cyberattacks creates new risks for functional, expected, and data security in autonomous driving. Xie Wenyun, Vice General Manager of BluePrint Auto Technology Co., Ltd., stated that competition in autonomous driving should focus on systemic capabilities rather than parameter counts.
