Toyota to roll out \'Level2++\' supervised driving system from 2028 models, targeting Tesla FSD

Toyota plans to introduce a next-generation advanced driver assistance system in 2028 model-year vehicles with supervised driving functions similar to Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD). The company aims to expand the system to more models by 2030. Japanese media said it will be at an industry-termed “Level2++” between Level 2 and Level 3. Toyota plans to add an AI “guardrail” system and says the approach could prevent about 60 percent of traffic deaths and injuries.

Waymo after 200 million miles: Camera-only hits limits for Level 4 autonomous driving

Waymo released 10 principles for developing Level 4 autonomous-driving AI, based on more than 200 million miles of fully driverless experience. It said camera-only approaches have limits and highlighted multi-sensor fusion using cameras, lidar and radar, along with HD maps, closed-loop simulation and independent safety validation. The company also described a shift toward a few large specialised foundation models, separate onboard verification, independent evaluation and combining fast control with higher-level reasoning.
