Car makers appear to be abandoning the idea of fully self-driving cars
Visitors to the French Open tennis championship at Roland Garros could catch a ride on a driverless Renault bus to the stadium.

While agreeing with the general statement that autonomous level five is the only level at which you can actually take the steering wheel out and let the car cope entirely by itself, Renault is also admitting that it now sees it as very unlikely that such technology will ever allow us to individually whizz around the M50 while reading a book or watching
However, Renault is hedging its bets. Lavauzelle said: “At the same time, the group is making sure that the architecture of its vehicles can evolve towards the autonomous car if expectations, regulations or the cost of technologies make this breakthrough feasible.” In the United States, robotic taxi services such as Lyft have experienced multiple issues, including crashes and confused software leading to cars simply stopping in the midst of traffic while they try to work out their next move.
All you have to do is glance at the door mirror, and the eye-tracking software that’s operating the camera staring back at you from the dashboard will initiate the change, flashing the indicator as it does so. “This is still a level-two system” says Gräter, referring to those same SAE levels of automated driving, running from one to five . “I would say that the level of effort and development for this system is only about 20 per cent of what you would need to get to level three,” Gräter says.
