kuai technology news on october 6, according to media reports, general motors is fully promoting the development of its l3 autonomous driving system, aiming to achieve an autonomous driving experience where drivers do not need to pay attention to the road at all times under certain conditions. the news was revealed by dave richardson, gm's senior vice president of software and service engineering, in an interview with foreign media.

currently, the autonomous driving solutions provided by most automobile manufacturers are still limited to the l2 level, which can only achieve partial automation operations and require drivers to remain alert to road conditions at all times. in this regard, richardson proudly pointed out that general motors' super cruise system, as the industry's leading l2 level autonomous driving technology, has achieved a breakthrough in hands-free driving. now, the company is working on upgrading it to the l3 level, by which time the driver will it can completely free your hands and sight in autonomous driving mode.

the outstanding performance of the super cruise system benefits from the precise collaboration of lidar map data, high-precision gps, cameras and radar sensors, as well as the assistance of the driver's attention monitoring system, ensuring that it can quickly take over control when the driver is distracted. the system can autonomously regulate vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance, accurately maintain lane driving, and intelligently perform actions such as lane changes and overtaking.

although richardson did not reveal the exact release date or development details of the l3 autonomous driving system, he firmly believes that the realization of this technology will be a major milestone in the field of autonomous driving and will profoundly affect the industry ecology. he emphasized that the maturity of the technology is the key to success, and premature market launch may weaken the public's trust in autonomous driving technology.

general motors' recent personnel dynamics also reveal its accelerated layout in the field of autonomous driving. in december last year, the company appointed anantha kancherla as vice president of advanced driver assistance systems. one of her responsibilities is to deepen the technological innovation of the super cruise system and broaden the application scope of driver attention monitoring, even when the system is not activated. effectively prevent distracted driving.

looking to the future, as technology continues to leap forward, general motors' l3 autonomous driving system is not only expected to bring unprecedented safety and convenience to users, but will also lead the entire automotive industry to make strides towards higher-level autonomous driving technology.
