Technische Visionen sind wichtig. Das Tesla-Konzept (Vision-Only) ist innovativ und könnte mittelfristig technisch ausgereift werden. Dennoch ist weiterhin offen, ob damit SAE Level 3 oder höher erreicht werden kann. Die Normen sind in Bezug auf die geforderte Sensorsystem-Redundanz interpretierbar.
