Developing next generation technology for
Autonomous
Vehicles
An autonomous vehicle is a vehicle that can sense its surroundings and operate without the need for human intervention.
At no point is a human passenger required to assume control of the car, nor is a human passenger needed to be present in the vehicle at all.
A fully autonomous vehicle can go anywhere a traditional car can and accomplish everything an experienced human driver can do. Without human intervention, it learns, collaborates, and interacts with the world the same way humans do.
Level 0
No
Automation
The car has no control over its operation, and all driving is performed by a human.
Level 1
Assisted
Driving Automation
The advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) in the car can assist the driver with steering, acceleration, and braking.
Level 2
Partial
Automation
The ADAS can handle steering, acceleration, and braking, but the human driver must retain undivided attention to the driving environment during the journey while also performing the remaining functions.
Level 3
Conditional
Automation
The ADAS can perform all aspects of the driving task in some cases, but the human driver must be able to regain control when the ADAS requests it. In the remaining cases, the human driver performs the required tasks.
Level 4
High
Automation
The vehicle's ADAS is capable of performing all driving responsibilities independently, in certain circumstances where human attention is not required,
Level 5
Full
Automation
This involves complete automation, in which the vehicle's ADAS is capable of doing all functions in all conditions, and no human driver assistance is required. The use of 5G technology will enable full automation by allowing vehicles to communicate not just with one another but also with traffic lights, signage, as well as the roads.
