The SL03i model submitted by Changan Automobile is equipped with a Level 3 Traffic Jam Pilot (TJP) system, which represents a major breakthrough in intelligent driving technology. The system features dynamic driving task execution, dynamic driving task backup, and human-machine interaction capabilities. Specifically, for traffic congestion scenarios on expressways and urban arterial roads, the system can conditionally activate the Level 3 autonomous driving mode, effectively reducing driver fatigue while enhancing the driving experience.

Through the application of a seven-fold redundancy architecture and five-fold perception technology, the TJP system can accurately perceive the surrounding environment. In specific scenarios, not only can it free the user's hands and eyes, but the system will also issue an intervention request in advance when facing certain situations or before exiting the autonomous driving mode, ensuring that the user can quickly take over vehicle control when necessary, making the intelligent driving process safer and more controllable.
