“Approximately 90% of crashes involve some form of human error.”

Table 1. Levels of automation (Centre for Advanced Automotive Technology, 2019).

Working Environment | Workplace Design

Level 1 Steering or braking/accelerating assistance is provided by an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). Level 2 Steering or braking/accelerating is controlled by ADAS and the human driver controls the remaining driving requirements. Level 3 ADAS is responsible for all driving however human intervention may be required. Level 4 ADAS is responsible for all driving and environmental awareness in specific circumstances. Level 5 ADAS is responsible for all driving and environmental

• awareness. Humans are only vehicle occupants.
