Given the recent lane recognition flaw uncovered by Tencent Keen Security Lab in Tesla’s autopilot feature, it may come as no surprise that we are still a little way away from full level 5 autonomous vehicles. In their research, the lab proved that by placing interference stickers on the road, the Tesla autopilot system would capture that information and make an abnormal judgement, which causes the vehicle to enter into the reverse lane.
It’s timely then that a report released this week in the UK said that based on current technology roadmaps and real-world applications, full and unconditional automation for level 5 autonomous vehicles is unlikely to be introduced before 2035. One of the primary reasons its states for this is the technology challenge involved in equipping AVs to tackle ‘all possible unusual driving situations under all driving situations under all driving conditions and in all environments’.
