Summary form only given, as follows. A complete record of the panel discussion was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. The panel discusses the current state of development in the field of autonomous mobility. The industry reports the active developments of the Level 2 autonomous functions (in which the driver monitors the drive most of the time), with early results on Level 3 (where self-driving modes are available, and the driver needs to retake when needed). Panelists also discussed potentials for centralized architectures in automotive, mostly relying on complex software, and reported the massive efforts in the creation of domain controllers for the autonomous vehicles. Among potential pitfalls, safety compliance is deemed as the most challenging, being the disabling factor for full autonomous drive due to extreme diversity of the vehicle environments, especially in urban driving, including the unpredictability of behavior of pedestrians and other traffic participants. Finally, predictions as to when the fully autonomous driving would be available were given, ranging from the late 2020s until 2040s, where the first commercial results are expected for special use cases and non-urban settings (e.g. dedicated pathways, factory floors, airports, truck platoons), whereas urban autonomous driving is very much far fetched.
