On Tuesday, IHS issued its first update on Level 2 and its road test results over the last two weeks. The tests show that Level 2 is not sufficient yet—it has already surpassed Level 1, while Level 2 is a little more than a year away.

Level 3 is the first, and IHS notes that the tests will not show the same level of performance in the future as Level 4, but they are not the only tests IHS has conducted with Level 2 systems in place.

In its latest, Level 2 test, IHS tested the first car in the field to ensure that it was in good health and was safe to drive.

The testing showed that Level 2 did not make the same level of improvements that Level 3 did. As for the car itself, it was only 2 percent more aggressive than Level 3. In the tests conducted with it, it was only 12 percent more aggressive than Level 3.

As for the Level 3 system, it is a step further from Level 1, but is still a step forward from the Level 2 system.

The IHS IHS-IIHS Automotive Research and Development Center, which conducts the testing, is a Division of IIHS in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.The first phase of the National Science Foundation's $1.8 billion research budget has been postponed for the next year and a half, officials say, to avoid a looming deadline for the agency to complete what has been a major overhaul of its science and technology programs.
