This date launched the article "The poor performance of autonomous driving is that its definition of L3 contains serious safety hazards", which focused on analyzing the problems in the definition of L3 and pointing out that it is either unnecessary or very dangerous to transfer vehicle control to the driver in an emergency. There is no need to say that the driver is always focused on observing the road conditions/car conditions, so it is better to drive it yourself; it is very dangerous that since the driver does not care about the road conditions/car conditions, is drowsy and cannot deal with emergencies. I posted a picture, using "anti-humanity" to describe the unreasonable characteristics of L3.

It is estimated that many people have realized the problems in L3. At the "WAIC" conference on September 1, 2022, when Baidu Chairman Li Yanhong introduced the commercialization of autonomous driving, "L4 is likely to be the first to enter commercial use after L2, not L3." Because the definition of accident liability for L2 and L4 is very clear. The driver is responsible for the L2, and the L4 operator is responsible for the accident. L3 is different. The driver takes over when needed, which makes it difficult to define the responsibility for the accident. Therefore, Li Yanhong believes that the popularity of L3 will take longer.
It can be seen that Mr. Li Yanhong recently wanted to bypass L3 for autonomous driving. Indeed, according to the characteristics of the unmanned taxi business of Baidu Baidu , the driver is not on the side, and there is no question of transferring control to the driver. In this situation, it seems that L4 is a more natural choice. Of course, the problem is not that simple. Now people are very clear that autonomous driving cannot achieve the level of foolproof angels for a very long time. For a long time, they just hope to achieve the level of an old driver. Currently, they are only the level of a novice driver. An experienced driver has citizenship. In the event of an accident, he will naturally stand in court as a plaintiff or defendant. What should I do if the L4 autonomous driving system encounters such a situation?
It seems that L4 is not the safe haven in your imagination, and the questions that should come will still come. Our idea is that escaping is not a solution. Wherever autonomous driving falls, it is necessary to get up! If there is a problem with autonomous driving in L3, the problem should be solved at the L3 level. The obvious problem with autonomous driving at
L3 level is that when the system encounters trouble, the control is transferred to the driver (occupant) who is in an outsider state, and the driver is caught off guard, resulting in a serious accident. Just to judge the matter, since it is not appropriate to transfer control of the vehicle to the driver, then transfer control to someone who is awake and prepared other than the driver. Of course, if the vehicle is sent to the vehicle to operate this matter, although it is reliable, the labor cost is too high and it is difficult to achieve. However, modern technology obviously allows people to make a more rational choice: use 4G or 5G communication systems to hand over a remote operator, who is responsible for taking over the difficult autonomous vehicles!
This means that to solve the logical inherent defects of L3, third-party supervision and services are actually needed.
Modern communication technology seamlessly connects vehicles with control rooms along the way
In fact, since third-party supervision and services are introduced, it is not just the system that only remembers third-party when an emergency occurs. Third-party supervision should be entered from the very beginning. Third parties should make in-depth and strict assessments of the factory's autonomous driving capabilities, and cannot just listen to the manufacturer's own words.
Every time the system of each vehicle starts automatic driving, the sensors, controllers and various possible links of the vehicle system should be detected, so that the automatic driving can only be started by meeting the basic requirements.
introduces third-party supervision and services, and improves L3, which is the commercialization of unmanned driving. Further, third parties should conduct real-time monitoring of the vehicle's autonomous driving system and return to real-time monitoring of the vehicle's autonomous driving status through handshake signals and status query.This state is used to perform routine communication and detection by computers. If an abnormality occurs, remote workers will take over the driving operation of the vehicle at any time, and handle various problems in the driving and autonomous driving states without disturbing the occupants.
