I Can See Clearly Now that SAE J3016 is Gone: Will Mobileye’s New Simplified Consumer AV Taxonomy Supplant SAE J3016?
The past year has proven to be quite tumultuous for the autonomous driving industry. Shortening runways and pivots to more commercially viable ADAS seem to have become the norm. Notwithstanding, leaders at Mobileye recently laid out a path for its pursuit of consumer-level autonomy, which they believe is attainable in the near future. This new approach, which was presented at CES 2023, centers around a different way of talking and thinking about consumer AVs, which unlike the engineer-driven SAE J3016, focuses on simplified consumer-facing automation taxonomy. By laying out a new consumer-oriented classification system, Mobileye hopes to bring more attention to the real benefits of autonomy in terms of safety, convenience and efficiency.
