SAE Levels of Autonomy in Self-Driving Cars
Human Involvement
Needed at All Times
• Level 0: All major systems are controlled by
humans.
• Level 1: Certain systems, for example
cruise control or automatic braking, can be
controlled by the car.
• Level 2: At least two simultaneous
automated functions such as acceleration
and steering are offered by the vehicle.
However, humans are required to ensure
safe operation.
Human Involvement
Not Needed at All Times
• Level 3: The car is able to manage safety
functions under certain conditions, but the
driver is expected to take over when alerted.
• Level 4: The car is fully-autonomous in
some driving scenarios, though not all.
• Level 5: The car is completely autonomous
in every situation.
