Toyota Targets Autonomous Driving From 2028

Toyota Motor has announced plans to introduce passenger vehicles equipped with advanced automated driving technology from 2028, allowing for a more hands-off driving experience on ordinary roads. The automaker unveiled this new autonomous-driving roadmap, aiming to equip privately owned passenger vehicles with a Level 2++ driver-assistance system that uses artificial intelligence to make driving decisions autonomously.

This technology will enable drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel even while traveling on general roads, significantly reducing the need for direct driver operation. Additionally, Toyota is targeting Level 4 autonomous driving for commercial vehicles by 2030, which would allow vehicles to operate entirely without human driving intervention under specified conditions.
