No automation. A human controls all driving tasks, even when aided by assistance systems such as cameras. One of the ‘Levels of Automation’ as the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Driver assistance. A human controls most driving; the vehicle performs either specific steering or acceleration / braking tasks. One of the ‘Levels of Automation’ as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Partial automation. The vehicle performs both specific steering and acceleration / braking tasks; a human controls all other driving. One of the ‘Levels of Automation’ as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Conditional automation. The vehicle performs driving in some modes; a human intervenes when requested. One of the ‘Levels of Automation’ as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
High automation. The vehicle controls specific driving modes without human intervention. One of the ‘Levels of Automation’ as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Full automation. The vehicle controls all driving, full time, without human intervention needed.
