Everybody is ahead of Japanese in self-driving, even Chinese.
Chinese too are on a similar time schedule, but I didn't mention them because Chinese cars aren't sold outside of China hence are irrelevant.
German, American, and Korean automakers are on a similar time schedule and can commercialize Level 3 self-driving cars within 3Q2020 ~ 1Q2021 time period.
As mentioned by this article, Japanese automakers are years behind its foreign rivals in self-driving and electrification, and industry observers are commenting that what happened to Japan's electronics industry may repeat in Japan's auto industry.

Hey Samit mid 2020 is before 2021 so maybe Hyundai and Kia are the ones falling behind?

Japanese automakers are running 5 years behind its rivals in self-driving technology.

Japan is falling behind as usual.

Hopefully this will put a stop to all of the drivers now engaged in level 3 activities such as reading, watching tv, texting, phoning - while driving non-autonomous vehicles.
In my city we need it yesterday.
