          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.
