L3Pilot (Piloting Automated Driving on European Roads) is the EU and EUCAR flagship project testing the viability of Automated Driving for safe and efficient road transport. On 13 and 14 October 2021, the L3Pilot project held the final event in conjunction with the ITS World Congress in Hamburg, Germany. 

After four years of testing on public roads, 34 partners, all major European OEMs, coordinated by Volkswagen AG, showed an in-depth dive into their results. One of the major achievements is the Code of Practice for the Development of Automated Driving Functions (CoP-ADF). It provides comprehensive guidelines for supporting the design, development, verification and validation of automated driving technologies.

For this event, more than ten of the L3Pilot fully equipped test vehicles drove on public roads in and around Hamburg, demonstrating automated driving (SAE Level 3 functions*) on the motorway and in urban areas. In addition, L3Pilot showed 13 test vehicles in the exhibition area at the ITS World Congress.
