Vehicular automation

Vehicular automation refers to the use of technology to automate various control functions of a vehicle, ranging from basic assistance to full control of all driving functions. This system is classified into five levels, ranging from no automation to full self-driving automation, with each level indicating the extent to which the vehicle can operate without human intervention.From: What we know and do not know about connected and autonomous vehicles [2020]

In the automotive industry, AI is already transforming vehicular automation and transportation and logistics management. Using onboard sensors and cameras in conjunction with AI-assisted machine vision models, autonomous vehicles are now capable of self-driving, navigation, and even traffic monitoring in complex and dynamically altering environments (Zhao et al., 2018; Tanwar et al. 2019). Using 5G in conjunction with AIoT would allow these applications to reach their full potential.

In this vein, it is essential to define what is meant by CAVs. Moore and Zuby (2013) outlined a system for classifying vehicular automation Level 1–4: Level 0, No automation; Level 1, Function-specific automation where vehicle assists driver in controlling the vehicle; Level 2, Combined function automation where vehicle automates at least two primary control functions; Level 3, Limited self-driving automation where driver cedes full control to vehicle automation under certain traffic or environmental conditions; Level 4, Full self-driving automation where vehicle is designed to perform all driving functions. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International also provide a similar but 5-level definition for CAVS where the middle levels are further detailed.
