Erstmals hat in Berlin ein Fahrzeug eine Prüfungsfahrt unter Level 4 Bedingungen im Straßenverkehr absolviert. Das bedeutet, dass Auto fährt innerhalb eines festgelegten Einsatzgebiets selbstständig, ohne dass ein Fahrer ständig eingreifen muss. Stefan Reindl, Direktor des Instituts für Automobilwirtschaft an der Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Umwelt Nürtingen-Geislingen, sagt im Interview mit SWR Aktuell-Moderator Florian Rudolph, dass Deutschland die rechtlichen Voraussetzungen für solche Tests bereits geschaffen hat. Vollautonomes Fahren ist allerdings nur unter klar definierten Bedingungen erlaubt, etwa auf bestimmten Routen, bei festgelegten Geschwindigkeiten und passenden Wetterverhältnissen. Bei Schnee oder Glätte stoßen die Systeme derzeit noch an Grenzen. Level 4: Der Mensch wird zum Passagier Der entscheidende Unterschied zu den heute bereits verfügbaren Level 3 Systemen: Bei Level 4 muss der Mensch nicht mehr ständig bereit sein, die Kontrolle zu übernehmen. Allerdings schreibt die aktuelle Rechtslage in Deutschland weiterhin vor, dass sich eine Person im Fahrzeug befinden muss, die im Notfall eingreifen kann. Noch einen Schritt weiter geht Level 5. Dann könnten Fahrzeuge überall und unter allen Bedingungen vollständig autonom fahren. Dafür gibt es bislang jedoch keine rechtlichen Regelungen. Robotertaxis als Zukunftsmarkt Als wichtigstes Einsatzfeld für autonomes Fahren sieht Reindl die Personenbeförderung. Robotertaxis sind bereits in einigen US-Städten unterwegs. Auch in Deutschland könnten solche Angebote künftig entstehen. Fahrgäste würden Fahrzeuge per App zu virtuellen Haltepunkten bestellen. Ein zentrales Thema bleibt dabei die Sicherheit. Autonome Systeme müssten nach Reindls Einschätzung sicherer fahren als Menschen, um Akzeptanz zu finden. Schon heutige Assistenzsysteme wie Notbrems- oder Spurhalteassistenten würden helfen, Unfälle zu vermeiden. Mit Robotertaxis in deutschen Städten rechnet der Automobilexperte allerdings nicht vor Mitte der 2030er Jahre.
