A WHOLE NEW WORLD: Level 5 driving automation promises a revolutionary future with ubiquitous electronic robotaxis for all, optimized shared fleets, and seamless urban goods delivery. Achieving this requires major technical breakthroughs in safety, sensing, control, ethics, and cybersecurity. It may take decades to establish the necessary standards and processes, but when achieved, Level 5 automation will usher in a new era of comfort, efficiency, and capacity. Dr. Shladover emphasizes the need for robust solutions to ensure zero "false negatives" and near-zero "false positives" in sensing and control, ultimately transforming the way we move.
