L2 Requires Constant Driver Attention: Experts Stress Assisted Driving is Not Autonomous, Accidents Are Not the Automaker’s Responsibility
Automakers promote ADAS, but experts stress these Level 2 systems are driver *aids*, not autonomous replacements. Drivers must remain engaged, bearing responsibility for accidents unless product defects are proven. Simulations revealed ADAS failures in critical scenarios: only 47% of vehicles avoided a highway collision with a truck obstruction at night, and only 58% stopped for a child darting into the road. V2X integration is seen as the future beyond current L2 limitations.
