Autonomous driving
Automated driving tech is here to simplify life
From driverless cars to intelligent driving tech, there’s a reason for the buzz around autonomous driving. Discover the 5 levels of autonomous driving and what it’s all about.
What is an autonomous vehicle?
There are 5 levels of automated driving. You probably already know about cruise control and lane keeping. We’re here to explain all the other parts you need to know about.
How does it work?
The 5 levels of automated driving
1. Driver assistance
At Level 1 the driver is in control of steering, acceleration and braking, while features like Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control assist can help to reduce stress.
2. Advanced driver assistance
Level 2 is a driver assist system where you can stay in control while the system can handle steering, acceleration and braking, allowing you to focus on the road.
3. Conditional automation
Level 3 Automated Driving acts as a co-pilot, handling some driving, while you stay ready to assist with complex manoeuvres.
4. High automation
Level 4 Autonomous Driving enables vehicles to drive independently, with minimal human intervention, letting you divert your attention from the road.
5. Full automation
Level 5 Autonomous Driving is what most people envision autonomous driving to be—vehicles that drive entirely on their own, with no human input required.
