Honda has the prestigious title of being the first manufacturer to achieve Level 3 autonomy successfully. Sit down, Teslarati. You’re still only on Level 2.
Honda says Sensing Elite was designed to eliminate human error, even though it still requires human intervention. The primary function Honda is punting is called Traffic Jam Pilot, and it sounds sensational. In heavily congested cities, you can hand over driving duties to the car. Honda’s system also uses artificial intelligence to make predictions and avoid risks. It does so by communicating with other vehicles, understanding other cars, learning the driving environment, and understanding traffic.
Communicating with other cars is also a key technology Honda will showcase. It calls this tech Safe Swarm, and it’s essentially the idea that all cars could be connected. Honda first unveiled Safe Swarm in 2019, but the scope of its abilities has grown significantly.
