Honda launches safety system with Level 3 driving functions

Source: AutoMotoTV (Glomex)

New Honda SENSING Elite safety technology enables Level 3 automated driving under certain conditions and will be used in the Honda Legend Hybrid EX, which will be available for lease in Japan starting March 5. Honda SENSING Elite builds on Honda SENSING safety technology, which is standard on all vehicles offered in Europe. New features include the "Traffic Jam Pilot" function, which enables Level 3 automated driving (conditional autonomous driving in certain traffic situations). Honda has received the relevant approval for this from Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). The Traffic Jam Pilot function can take over driving from the driver in certain situations, such as in heavy traffic or on the highway. The automated driving system uses various data and sensors. The vehicle's position and traffic conditions are recorded on the basis of three-dimensional, high-resolution maps, global navigation satellite data and 360-degree monitoring of the immediate vehicle environment. A camera mounted in the passenger compartment simultaneously monitors the driver. Based on this information, the main control unit (ECU) is able to detect and assess traffic situations and provide high-level control of acceleration, deceleration as well as steering to offer powerful and smooth driving assistance."
