What a DH..Leveling up
With Drive Pilot, Mercedes has placed itself in an unusual position. The SAE autonomy scale goes from Level 0, signifying complete manual operation, to Level 5, signifying cars that can drive themselves in all conditions. Level 3 is the halfway point between those two extremes but, crucially, it’s also the only level that blends human and machine control.
According to the SAE, when a Level 3 system is operating, the car is driving. However, it can still ask the driver to take over control. That stipulation is unique to Level 3. At Levels 4 and 5, the car shouldn’t require human intervention, per the SAE standards, while at Levels 0-2 the driver is considered to be in charge at all times. That includes systems like General Motors’ Super Cruise and Ford’s BlueCruise, where drivers may be merely supervising without touching the steering wheel or pedals.
Another luxury?
The need to add more sensors and connectivity also contradicts a popular misconception: that Level 3 tech inevitably leads to fully autonomous driving. Just as new hardware was needed to get from Level 2 to Level 3, even more will likely be needed to reach Levels 4 and 5. That will also require mapping more roads, and taking Drive Pilot beyond divided highways. That adds development costs and pushes the limits of the technology, which may not work as well beyond the relatively controlled environment of highways.

Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot reaches a new level of sophistication for driver-assist systems. We hit the track to see what it can do.www.digitaltrends.com
He's basically saying it's really good and may make things safer, but it's going to be hard and expensive in the beginning, going to full automony, so should car companies, even be trying?..
Personally I won't ever get an autonomous car, unless it's forced upon me, but there's no denying, it's the future.
What a backward thinking fella..

Hey Dingo I don’t think any of us will own fully autonomous vehicles - they will just be available to us like Uber at any time or place.. and then there will also be autonomous drone taxis for the flighty amongst us

Like I said, when I'm forced
In other news, China up in arms over Pelosi visit.
Sure she was invited, but you'ld think with a war still raging in Ukraine, that Pelosi might say "Thanks for the invite, but probably not a good idea, to upset China"..
It's like striking a match, next to a fuel bowser...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the RZ/A3UL group of microprocessors (MPU) that enables both a high-definition human-machine interface (HMI) and quick startup for applications that require high throughput and real-time capabilities. The new RZ/A3UL allows customers to achieve the full potential of a real-time operating system (RTOS) while leveraging the performance boost provided by the 64-bit Arm® Cortex®-A55 CPU core with a maximum operating frequency of 1 GHz. Using an RTOS allows systems to start up instantly, in less than a second after boot-up. This feature is ideal for systems that require a fast response time such as industrial equipment, home appliances and office automation equipment with liquid crystal displays or control panels, as well as audio equipment and POS terminals.
The RZ/A3UL supports the industry’s two leading RTOSes: FreeRTOS and Azure RTOS. Since Renesas is a license provider of Azure RTOS for the RZ Family, users can simply download the high-performance Azure RTOS from GitHub and get started immediately. In addition, Renesas offers a Flexible Software Package including FreeRTOS and HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) drivers that developers can use as a reference when developing their own applications. An extensive suite of middleware is also available for both operating systems, further reducing the time and cost for development.
“Many customers who use RTOSes tell us that they want to retain features like excellent real-time capabilities and quick startup, but that they also want higher resolution and better performance,” said Shigeki Kato, Vice President of the Enterprise Infrastructure Business Division at Renesas. “I am confident that the RZ/A3UL will deliver the higher performance required, while still giving customers the flexibility and ease of use offered by MCUs.”
Moe Tanabian, Vice President & General Manager, Azure IoT, Light Edge, AI at Microsoft added, “The combination of high-performance MPUs like the RZ/A3UL, with the real-time capabilities of Azure RTOS, will directly improve the performance of our customers' devices."
The peripheral functions and package pin assignments of the RZ/A3UL are compatible with the RZ/G2UL that employs the Cortex-A55 core targeting Linux-based HMI applications, and with the RISC-V-based RZ/Five products. This means that engineers can develop new products using the same board design, simply by replacing the chip. The compatibility between devices also allows engineers to easily transition from a product that runs an RTOS to a Linux-based product, facilitating efficient development across multiple product models.
Winning Combination with RZ/A3UL
Renesas has designed an HMI solution, “RTOS Based RZ/A3UL HMI SMARC SOM” that uses the RZ/A3UL and other compatible devices from Renesas and its partners’ portfolios. This Winning Combination is a module conforming to the industry-standard SMARC 2.1 form factor. The module incorporates devices including the DA9062 power management IC, 5P35023 programmable clock generator, AT25QL128A flash memory IC, and SLG46538 GreenPAK implementing peripheral functions such as system reset. It can be used to evaluate the RZ/A3UL and also as a reference design to help shorten development time. Renesas Winning Combinations have technically vetted system architecture from mutually compatible devices that work together seamlessly to bring an optimized low-risk design for a faster time to market. Renesas offers more than 300 Winning Combinations with a wide range of products from its portfolio. They can be found at https://www.renesas.com/win.

Prophesee's computer vision systems unlock new potential in areas such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, IoT, security and surveillance, and AR/VR.
Akida, BrainChip's first-to-market neuromorphic processor, mimics the human brain to analyze only the essential sensory inputs at the point of acquisition and process data with unprecedented efficiency, precision and power savings. Keeping AI/ML local to the chip, independent of the cloud, also drastically reduces latency.
"We successfully ported data from Prophesee's neuromorphic camera sensor to process inference on Akida with impressive performance," said Anil Mankar, co-founder and CDO of BrainChip. "This combination of intelligent vision sensors with Akida's ability to process data with unparalleled efficiency, precision and energy savings at the point of capture truly advances cutting-edge AI enablement, providing manufacturers with an out-of-the-box solution."
CAUTION!! Absolutely the most informative section of the report:
“By combining our Metavision solution with Akida-based IP, we are better able to provide a complete high-performance, ultra-low-power solution to OEMs looking to leverage edge-based visual technologies as part of their product offering,” said Luca Verre, CEO and co-founder of Prophesee.”

Also when you are drunk. Can blow into a pipe in your car and Akida will know how far gone you are, will play an screechy noise saying 'you must drink 1.3 litres of water now' so you don't wake up with such a headache. The seats will automatically be appropriately adjusted with pillows and adequate warmth, Akida will darken the car windows and off you go into the night to wake up the next day not feeling so bad in your driveway.
This will be me after our $30 share party in 2028.
