Honda Autonomous Driving set for 2025
Honda has announced it is targeting the year 2025 for the introduction of vehicles with highly automated driving capability in most driving situations. This new goal builds upon earlier-announced plans for Honda and Acura vehicles to have highly-automated freeway driving capability by 2020.
A recent freeway driving test-drive demonstration was conducted on a closed test course using a vehicle equipped with an advanced suite of sensors, showing the capability for automated driving system utilization on a multi-lane freeway in the presence of traffic. Equipped with camera sensors only and no LIDAR or GPS, Honda's AI with Deep Learning can sense and respond to complex driving environments and situations, such as roads without proper lane markings.
The SAE defines automated driving based on six levels of capability, from zero to five. SAE Level 4 or "High automation" means the vehicle can handle all driving tasks in most driving situations, with possible exceptions including inclement weather conditions or unusual driving environments, where the driver would be required to resume control.
