Stellantis has introduced its first 'hands free, eyes off' partial autonomous driving feature called STLA AutoDrive, aimed at enhancing driver convenience during stop-and-go traffic. Despite being fully developed, its launch is delayed due to market and regulatory challenges. The feature aligns with the Society for Automotive Engineers' Level 3 guidelines, allowing drivers to disengage from constant attention, but critics express concerns about safety. Level 3+ can operate in various conditions including nighttime and poor weather, although limitations are expected.
The technology is fully developed and ready for deployment. However, the current market for Level 3 autonomous driving is very limited.
STLA AutoDrive will cover a range of driver assist situations, from hands-on Level 2 driving, to hands-off, eyes-off Level 3+.
