Start of L3Pilot: 1,000 test drivers – 100 vehicles – 11 European countries

Aug, 25 2017

The new SAFER project, LP3Pilot, starting September 1, has the overall objective to test the viability of automated driving as a safe and efficient means of transportation. The functionality of the systems used is exposed to variable conditions in 11 European countries, 100 vehicles and 1000 test drivers.

The project focuses on large-scale piloting of SAE level 3 functions, with additional assessment of some level 4 functions. The tested functions cover a wide range from parking to overtaking and urban intersection driving. These tests will provide valuable data for evaluation of technical aspects, user acceptance, driving and travel behaviour and impact on traffic and society. With its large coverage of driving situations, L3Pilot is the first project worldwide demonstrating and testing a comprehensive setup of automated driving functions.
