Stellantis and Wayve announced a partnership that will enable scalable driver-assistance features and, eventually, autonomous self-driving vehicles.
According to a recent joint press release, Stellantis will integrate Wayve’s artificial intelligence (AI) into its “STLA AutoDrive platform, enabling hands-free Level 2++ driving in both urban and highway environments, with a pathway to support higher levels of automation.”
Level 2++ is meant to close the gap between traditional Level 2 and Level 3 automation. Generally, Level 2 requires drivers to always be ready to take control of the car at a moment’s notice. Level 3 means the car can drive itself in certain circumstances. Under a Level 2++ designation, the car would be “supervised,” while allowing for hands-free driving.
The partnership puts Stellantis in a better position as it continues to expand its strategy for “intuitive, safe, and very natural advanced driver-assistance,” as well as moving toward “advanced levels of automation over time.”
