Level 2: The car offers at least two simultaneous automated functions, like acceleration and steering, but requires humans for safe operation
Level 3: The car can manage all safety-critical functions under certain conditions, but the driver is expected to take over when alerted
Level 4: The car is fully-autonomous in some driving scenarios, though not all
Level 5: The car is completely capable of self-driving in every situation.
Google, Uber, Tesla, Nissan are the pioneers of this technology. Self-driving works upon the wide array of sensors, like radar integrated with the camera sensors.
Uber’s self-driving prototypes use sixty-four laser beams, along with other sensors, to construct their internal map and design the neat sketch for the destination.
The digitization has a positive impact with this self driving technology. Digitization plays a key role in automotive manufacturing. This provides the suppliers with all the necessary tools and helps them remain flexible and adaptive to this modern technologies.
These digitization sets up a healthy competition among different automobile companies, thus creating a strong layout for this emerging trends.
The quick growth of data analytics and an increase in the use of the IoT(Internet of Things) enabled digital connectivity is bridging a connection between a company’s management and operations with consumers.
The industrial manufacturing is moving towards a world of smart connectivity surmounted by these disruptive technologies.
