Automated driving technology has matured to a level motivating a final phase of road tests which can answer key questions before market introduction of the systems. We will perform large-scale piloting of automated driving with developed SAE Level 3 and Level 4 functions in passenger cars. Our tests will expose them to different users, mixed traffic environments, including conventional vehicles and vulnerable road users.

As consortium we address four major technical and scientific objectives for the L3Pilot project:

• Create a standardised Europe-wide piloting environment for automated driving.
• Coordinate activities across the piloting community to acquire the required data for evaluation.
• Pilot, test and evaluate automated driving functions.
• Innovate and promote automated driving for wider awareness and market introduction.
