Honda Motor Co Ltd would develop level 3 technology that functions at any speed below legal limits on highways by 2029 as it strives to eliminate traffic deaths.
According to Honda engineer Mahito Shikama, level 3 technology is in essence about cars that do not crash
Shikama declined to say how soon Honda would start mass-producing its level 3 self-driving vehicles.
Honda is aiming for a zero-fatality rate from traffic accidents involving its cars and motorcycles globally by 2050.
In March 2021, the Japanese carmaker became the world's first to sell a vehicle with level 3 self-driving technology.
Level 3 technology, often referred to as conditional driving automation, enables drivers to conduct activities while operating a vehicle, such as viewing movies or using cell phones, but only under specific circumstances.
On highways, Honda's level 3 "Traffic Jam Pilot" system can engage at speeds below 30 km/h and stay in operation until the speed increases to 50 km/h.
