ADAS " We're trying to keep J3016 at its current high 'Constitution' level and allow the other SAE task forces that are going into specific, deeper areas to formulate their own definitions consistent with J3016. " A lot of the public controversy with J3016 stems from the graphic, which has been modified two or three times since the standard deployed. Do you see a need to tweak or upgrade the graphic? If you in the technical media see a need to change the graphic, please let us know. We're not trying to confuse people; on the contrary. I hear that feedback, as you obviously do, too. If the industry's intent is to ultimately show a vehicle's driving-automation capability on the Monroney [new-vehicle window sticker], will you be able to develop a graphic to portray the level of capability in an easy-to-understand fashion? I think it will end up becoming a recognized icon. We worked very hard in trying to come up with a graphical version of this. We had some high-powered people working on this. Andy Christensen from Nissan did all the graphics for J3016; he's quite good at that. Plus, we had SAE's professional graphics staff. In the end we couldn't do it; there's no way to correctly graphically represent the OEDR part of the DDT. And that's the tough part of this technical challenge; we can do longitudinal and lateral control - but we can't do it with complete OEDR yet. If anyone has a thought about how to correctly depict OEDR, we're all for it! But I honestly think it's going to end up being some kind of icon by the time it makes it to a Monroney label. ■ See https://www.sae.org/news/2021/06/sae-reviseslevels-of-driving-automation for the full-interview version.
