Q and all the things that people are trying to tackle. There are levels out there for how people describe these things. And so Elon Musk will make a claim about Tesla's and people will say, well, they can't handle all these edge cases, et cetera. So in this state of autonomy, where are we on the levels of autonomy? And can you quickly break down that taxonomy for our listeners?
A Sure. So going through the levels, just, just one by one. So level zero is where most production vehicles are today. And so this would be, uh, A car that perhaps has, uh, anti-lock brakes and traction control, some version of electronic stability control, uh, but the, the systems are, are all fairly, uh, they're, they're fairly dumb in the sense that they're not necessarily seeing the world in any way. Uh, level one system will mean that there's, uh, some level of automation, so adaptive cruise control is an example of a level one system where typically there's a radar that's, that's seeing the vehicles in front of you on the road, and then the vehicle's able to accelerate and apply the brakes automatically. Level two is where things get pretty interesting. That's where you typically have a, a combination of a lane keep system with an adaptive cruise system. So for example, the Tesla autopilot system is a, is a level two system. It's able to maintain its, its own lane safely on the highway. And, uh, right now that the trend in production systems is automakers are trying to go to what they're calling level two plus, which is taking these level two sort of lane keep plus adaptive cruise systems and And they're adding on functionality for, uh, automatically taking freeway interchanges. And so if you can automatically take an exit, and then perhaps, uh, automatically merge into a f…
