北汽研究总院张洋：L3车型准入将多维度重塑汽车产业

Core Viewpoint - The transition from L2 to L3 autonomous driving represents a significant shift in responsibility from the driver to the system, posing challenges for automotive companies in developing L3 vehicles [1][6]. Group 1: Challenges in L3 Development - The three main challenges in developing L3 vehicles are the shift in responsibility, the generalization of long-tail scenarios, and the safety of human-machine interaction [6]. - The shift in responsibility involves a dynamic and contextual process where the system takes charge in specific scenarios, requiring the driver to be ready to intervene when necessary [6]. - Long-tail scenario generalization refers to the system's ability to make safe and reliable decisions in low-probability but high-risk situations, such as extreme weather or unexpected obstacles [7]. Group 2: Safety and User Education - L3 systems must meet higher functional safety standards, encompassing both hardware and software safety redundancy designs [8]. - Companies should establish a user education mechanism to ensure proper use of L3 features, including training and informed consent regarding operational design domain (ODD) and takeover responsibilities [10]. - Effective human-machine interaction (HMI) is crucial, with mandatory alerts to inform users when the system is in driving mode and when a takeover is required, allowing at least 10 seconds for the driver to respond [10]. Group 3: Future Outlook - The commercialization of L3 vehicles is accelerating, with mass production expected to begin by the end of 2025 and widespread adoption anticipated around 2030 [11]. - The entry of L3 vehicles into the market will reshape the intelligent connected vehicle industry in China across regulatory, technical, market, and responsibility dimensions [11]. - To support the healthy development of autonomous driving, there is a need for integrated infrastructure, clear legal frameworks, and public awareness to prevent over-reliance on automated systems [11].
