Honda Is About to Become the First Automaker to Offer a Level 3 Self-Driving System

Honda Motor (NYSE: HMC) says that on Friday, it will launch the first production vehicle with so-called Level 3 semi-autonomous technology, which means it can be self-driving under specific, limited circumstances. 

The feature is an option on Honda's new Legend, a large upscale sedan sold in Japan. Regulators there have approved the system for limited sale. For now at least, Honda plans to offer just 100 cars with the new technology, which will be available only on leased vehicles priced at 111 million yen, about $102,000.
