Levels 4 & Level 5 – Fully Autonomous

Level 4 and Level 5 vehicles are autonomous in all situations and driving environments, not just “under certain circumstances,” as in Level 3.
In Level 4 there does not have to be a driver because the vehicle is prepared for every situation and the human has moved from being the driver to just a passenger. Level 5 vehicles will not have a steering wheel or other human-used vehicle controls.
We believe the initial deployment of this technology will be for “ride-sharing” fleets within confined areas.
Driverless vehicles make the ride-share model much more cost-effective and compelling, as they eliminate the biggest cost of ride-share fleets: the driver. Initial deployment into ride-share fleets brings two other significant benefits: We expect initial usage will include a trained operator in the driver seat, to enable consumers to gain experience with the technology with the assurance of a trained operator monitoring the situation, and the ability to generate real-world performance data in a safe way. Once enough data is generated, we would expect the regulatory framework to approve widespread usage.
By using our crowdsourced REM™ Roadbook technology, the move from “somewhere” autonomy to “everywhere” autonomy is simply a switch of a button because the maps will be continuously updated everywhere, not only in confined, geo-fenced areas.
Eventually, we will see auto companies scale-up from ride sharing to “shared ownership” where people and organizations share ownership of a car that can drive anywhere. This is even more transformative than ride sharing because it opens up completely new business models for transportation.
In 2016 Mobileye announced its partnership with BMW and Intel intending to bring a fully autonomous vehicle into serial production by 2021.
Also in 2016, Mobileye announced a partnership with Delphi Automotive to produce a turnkey autonomous driving system designed for rapid adoption by a variety of automakers.
