The Six Levels of “Self-Driving” Technology“Self-driving cars” seemed like science fiction for decades, but the technology thatallows cars to drive themselves now has become a reality. Along with the fact that many
new cars are equipped with some sort of autonomous driving technology is also the factthat the technology poses certain risks that involve all drivers and pedestrians. This
passage will explain what the six different levels of autonomous driving are to aid readersin understanding this revolutionary technology.
According to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International, autonomous
driving technology is categorized into six different levels. These are Level 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,and 5. These six levels are further categorized into two groups, with Levels 0, 1, and 2
representing “driver support,” and Levels 3, 4, and 5 representing “automated driving.”
Here are the differences:
Driver Support
Level 0 – The driver must drive the car and be able to control the car at all times.
Level 1 – The car can drive itself in limited situations, but the driver must always holdthe steering wheel and be able to take control of the car at all times.
Level 2 – The car can drive itself in limited situations without the need for the driver tohold the steering wheel, but the driver must keep his or her eyes on the road at
all times and be able to take control of the car when alerted to do so.
Automated Driving
Level 3 – The car can drive itself in many situations. The driver neither has to hold thesteering wheel nor keep his or her eyes on the road at all times, but the driver
must be able to take control of the car when alerted to do so.
Level 4 – The car can drive itself in most situations. There may or may not be a steering
wheel and pedals in the car. However, the driver may be alerted to intervene
when situations arise that are beyond the car’s ability to handle.
Level 5 – The car can drive itself in all situations. It does not need a driver at all.
To summarize, different levels of autonomous driving technology exhibit different8capabilities. Certainly, understanding the extent to which a car can drive itself is crucial
to drivers, but shouldn’t be limited to drivers alone. Given the nature of driving and thedanger it poses to pedestrians and other drivers, we should all consider knowing more
about autonomous driving technology in order to prevent possible accidents and support
a safer society.
