THE JOURNEY TOWARDS FULL AUTOMATED DRIVING IS ENABLED BY IoT
The Society of Automotive Engineers has established a classification system Level 1: Driver Assistance
in the industry to define the evolution of cars automation capabilities. The In Level 1 the vehicle is still controlled by the driver but has a single
taxonomy includes 6 levels of driving automation, ranging from no automation aspect of automation that assists the driver in steering, speed, or
(Level 0) to full automation (Level 5). braking control.
Level 2: Partial Automation
In Level 2 vehicle takes over both steering and acceleration/
deceleration capabilities combined in certain situations. The driver is
still in control of the vehicles all the times. Self parking is an example of
Level 2 driver support features.
Level 3: Conditional Automation
Level 3 vehicles represent the lowest-tier system classified as
automated driving system as opposed to a manual one. Vehicle can
take over driving in a mapped environment. The driver needs to take
control to handle variations and unexpected situations. Level 3 features
include traffic jam chauffeur.
Level 4: High Automation
The vehicle is capable of performing all driving functions under limited
conditions and automated driving features will not require the driver
to take over driving. The driver may have the option to control the
vehicle. Examples of Level 4 features include local driverless taxi.
Level 0: No Automation
With Level 0 the driver performs all driving tasks. The driver can be supported by Level 5: Full Automation
warning and momentary assistance like blind spot or lane departure warnings. The vehicle is completely autonomous and can perform all driving
functions under all conditions.
