Toyota
Just about every car on the market here at the beginning of 2018 has both pedals and a steering wheel. That may sound like an obvious statement, but self-driving cars are coming, and GM has already announced a 2019 model year car that won’t have the means for human driving at all. And while total car automation is closer than ever, it’s still years away from replacing our daily drivers on the whole.
Back in 2014, an organization called SAE International released a document called Taxonomy and Definition for Terms Related to On-Road Motor Vehicle Automated Driving Systems. It sounds like it was named by a robot, but it’s currently the standard for describing the level of automation in cars of all kinds. It’s currently the standard used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is directly referenced in proposed legislation to standardized self-driving technology in the US.
