An ODD can be unique to individual automakers, vehicle brands and types, as well as to each automated driving functionality across different levels of automation (from SAE Levels L2-L4). It is already being utilized in the current development, validation and production of automated driving capabilities for two global automakers.
“Here Automated Driving Zones is another example for the critical importance of accurate and dynamic location technology to enable safe autonomous driving”, says Giovanni Lanfranchi, senior vice president and chief product and technology officer at Here Technologies. “Location technology is both needed for defining the areas where automated driving is possible as well as for operating an automated vehicle safely within those boundaries.”
