Autonomous cars: the five levels of autonomy
• The levels of vehicle automation range from zero (no automation) to five (fully autonomous driving in all conditions).
• At intermediate levels, the driver remains partially responsible, with various aids like lane keeping and braking assistance.
• Level five, still futuristic, aims for total autonomy without human intervention.
