Honda Receives Type Designation for Level 3 Automated Driving in Japan”
Japan, November 11, 2020
Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
today announced that it has received the required type designation for Level 3*1 automated driving from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).
This approval
enables the automated driving system to drive the vehicle instead of the driver under certain conditions, such as when the vehicle is in congested traffic on expressway.
Honda
is planning to launch sales of a Honda Legend equipped with the newly approved automated driving equipment (“Traffic Jam Pilot”) before the end of the current fiscal year (Ending March 31, 2021).
To promote commercialization of Level 3 automated vehicles,
the MLIT partially amended the Road Vehicle Act, and the revised act (Act No. 14 of 2019) took effect April 1, 2020.
By this amendment,
equipment for Level 3 automated driving
was newly added to the list of motor vehicle equipment subject to the safety standards (defined in the Ministry of Transport Ordinance No.67, 1951).
Key safety standards for automated driving equipment *2 1.Performance:
The equipment must not cause any concern that compromises the safety of vehicle occupants or other road users under the operable driving environment conditions.*3
The equipment must not operate unless all required operable driving environment conditions are fulfilled.
Before any of operable driving environment conditions become unsatisfactory, the equipment must warn the driver of the transfer of control (handover) back to the driver and must continue safe driving until the handover is completed.
When the handover cannot be made, the equipment must safely stop the vehicle.
The equipment must include a driver monitoring function to monitor the condition of the driver.
The equipment must adopt cyber security measures to prevent security threats such as unauthorized access.
