I suspect it is just easier to define a "win" that way. L5 on a test track or L5 on a quiet freeway are very different challenges than what most people think of when they think of L5: Driving in downtown [major city] without intervention.
L5 driving downtown for an entire day with zero interventions, in a consumer vehicle, is really the gold standard for this tech. You nail that, you're done it.
- tshaddox 5y agoIt's also just a weird definition in general. I'm a human, and seemingly a competent driver (zero accidents or moving violations), yet there are still regions, specific roads and definitely road conditions where I will say "nope, not gonna try that." Does that mean I am not L5?
- themacguffinman 5y agoYes actually, I don't think humans are L5. L5 automation is supposed to be the holy grail, it's supposed to be far superior to human driving. Widespread L5 automation is expected to save countless lives every single day.
