The question: what are the benefits of level 2+ autonomy in car technology? From 1886 to 2024 we have seen different types of vehicles. It all started with Motorwagen and now we have brands like BMW, Audi, Mercedes, etc. Did you realize that we have come a long way, and this industry has seen various changes over the years? Every brand introduced us to features like Automatic driving, Roof-opening cars, and more. Oh! Yeah Automatic or self-driving, we discussed it in our last blog, Haven’t clicked yet? Let me remind you! I wrote about ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems). I also gave you some details about Level 2 and Level 2+ technology, which play an important role in the Automobile industry.
Today’s blog is also interesting like the last one as I will tell you about the benefits of Level 2 and Level 2+ advanced driving systems and why it is important in the present and future of the automobile industry.
Understanding Level 2+ Autonomy
Before starting, Let’s understand “What is Level 2+ Autonomy?” Simply put, Level 2+ autonomy is an advanced feature in ADAS, which includes crowdsourced high-precision maps, which help to make our self-driving car features function smoothly and more dependable while driving.
Enhanced Lane-Centering Functionality
Now, we are discussing the benefits of L2+ autonomy. One of the interesting features of L2+ autonomy is its way of keeping a car centered in its lane. With the help of detailed maps, L2+ autonomy can keep the car’s position right down the middle, even in a situation of:
- Poor lane markings
- Sharp turns
- Newly paved roads
- Complex urban environments
This benefit of L2+ autonomy helps the driver to drive hand-free most of the time, making drivers relax while driving on the highways and providing a hassle-free driving experience with convenience.
Improved Detection and Measurement
Coming more about the advantages of this technology, It informs about the accurate distance of other vehicles on the road, allowing drivers to be aware to avoid accidents. It also recognizes the traffic signs and is aware of using low and high beams, which gives a convenient driving experience.
Urban Driving Support
Driving on highways and driving in cities are two different experiences. Driving in lanes and on congested roads requires more attention. But, to resolve this issue, L2+ autonomy introduced us to ADAS! An advanced feature in cars particularly for hassle-free driving on the city roads. As I wrote above L2+ autonomy systems can identify traffic lights, which road is connecting with which traffic lights, when you need to slow down the speed, where the intersection point, and when you can drive at speed, allowing the drivers to avoid traffic and drive without stress on the city routes.
Safety and Convenience: A Dual Focus
Right now, professionals are developing L2+ autonomous driving systems to provide a safe and easy driving experience.“Pseudo-autonomy” in L2+ autonomy takes over the command in certain critical situations without hampering safety. Under the supervision of drivers, this technology assists the driver to move forward without compromise.
Paving the Way for Future Autonomy
L2+ autonomy is just not an advanced feature in L2 ADAS, it’s a path toward the future to achieve L3 autonomy and much more. Being able to understand the environment and providing mapping data, L2+ is creating a way to develop more autonomous technology for the future.
Conclusion
As I shared in my last blog about L2 ADAS, I will say that L2+ autonomy is about making a driving experience safe and convenient while moving forward to future aspects. L2+ Autonomy is a link between L2 and L3 automation. This technology has allowed us to drive safely and freely on the roads.
When we look back in time, we have achieved huge progress in Car technology. And, one of them is L2+ technology.
