"downgraded to Level 2+ autonomy"
"The car will use what is known as a Level 2+ system, the people said. That’s a downgrade from previously planned Level 4 technology — and, before that, even more ambitious aims for a Level 5 system."
Wow, what?
Level 2 is "lane centering and adaptive cruise control." Those are standard features these days.
"After the initial car debuts, Apple hopes to release an upgraded system later that supports Level 4 autonomy and additional regions."
Oh like Tesla and "Full Self Driving"?
- unregistereddev 3y agoI do not know why you are being downvoted. I agree that level 2 autonomy is not cutting edge - it is an option level for nearly every car manufacturer.
- TillE 3y agoUnlike Tesla, they'd definitely ship with LIDAR sensors. Honestly, lowering the bar makes me think that they're actually serious about this, they want to make an Apple Car even if it can't hit their original goals.
